Fairy Garden

Use this early years play activity to build a new fantasy world using natural materials. This outdoor lesson idea could be used to explore size and scale, develop language skills through storytelling and sensory experiences, and encourage artistic expression.

Our outdoor lesson ideas and play activities are created by educators who understand the barriers teachers and practitioners face when taking learning and play outdoors. Alongside the main activity, we have included ideas for extensions and/or applications to help you meet learning outcomes across a range of additional subject areas and topics.

We know you will tailor these activities to the learning needs of your pupils, and we encourage you to use our lesson ideas as inspiration rather than instruction. Feel free to take it, break it, and make it your own!
