Kay and I had tried to make a fairy house before, but it collapsed into a pile of twigs pretty quickly. This time we tried a different technique - not so fancy, but just right for us. She wasn't interested at first, but I sat there moving around different things and she soon came over to help. I loved her creative ideas - the slinky is a door, a rock in the yard is a "guard dog to protect the fairies." When she deemed it completed she looked at me and said, "Will you push me on the swing?" And so on to the next thing...
