What is a Fairy Door?

Fairy Doors are miniature Fairy portals that you attach to a wall, tree, shelf, or cupboard. They will create a magical doorway to fairyland that can only be accessed by your fairy.

Using a fairy door in your home can be a fun and exciting way to create some magic and boost your child’s imagination

So a Fairy Door can only be entered by a fairy. By fixing the door to a wall, you create a magical doorway to an enchanted land. This imaginary world of make-believe is a special realm where the fairy lives. As a result, they can travel to communicate and leave gifts for the child. So here are some things to bear in mind when selecting your fairy door;

• Find a Nice Location
• Choose your Fairy Door. Is it going to be Outside? There are a range of Weatherproof doors for attaching to trees and fences
• Select suitable Accessories to set the scene and for your fairies to have fun with.

Communication with your Fairies 

Children can write notes or draw pictures for their fairy, who in turn may write back. So this is such a creative way to encourage your child to express themselves and just maybe, “Your fairies” may communicate back to encourage your child.

The Fairy Door introduces a child to a secretive fairy friend because it then gives the most amazing opportunity to communicate with them through it. So Most Kids love secrets, whether that be imaginary friends or just by keeping ‘secrets’. Secrets are special and magical to a child. 

But the ‘magic’ is however dependent upon you ‘the parent’ to be secretly involved in the fun by leaving the occasional fairy note or gift for your child to discover  

Special Fairy Rewards

Fairy Doors are also a great way to reward a child for doing well and to encourage positive behavior. 

Because as parents, we realize how hard it can be at times to persuade our kids to tidy up their bedroom, finish their homework, help around the house, and even be nice to their brothers and sisters too. But a Fairy Door helps by turning these chores into things that “fairies are watching and can reward”.

By secretly leaving treats, gifts, and cards outside the door ‘from your fairy’ anytime you notice your child doing something you like, you create a powerful tool to positively influence your child.

How do you Decorate a Fairy Door

Just like their us fairies love to decorate their fairy doors to celebrate the seasons. So you can help them do this by adding adorable fairy-sized decor outside your door depending on the time of year. You can create your own or buy ready-made decorations to keep your fairies happy.

From Valentine’s Day through to Christmas there is a myriad of opportunities to adorn these diminutive doors. Think glittery hearts and candies for Valentine’s day, miniature eggs and baskets for Easter along with some spring flowers, and tiny tinsel and trees for Christmas. The list is endless and lots of fun, but it will also ensure your fairies will stick around it their well-kept surroundings!
