Our friends at the Irish Fairy Door company sent us a beautiful little handmade wooden doors to start our own little magic traditions at home. Its opened up a whole world of imagination and questions from the little ones, which is really encouraging and who says that magic like this just happens at Christmas?

I have great plans for the little fairy door over the year, crafting a washing line for example and introducing the little fairy to Noah and Isla. I am looking forward to seeing their faces light up when they finally see whose been behind the door all this time. At the moment, when the little ones get little gifts, I put them at the foot of the fairy door. We did this over advent as well, the children had a surprise there every morning and on Christmas morning there was a whole Lego Christmas scene waiting for them.
I have seen so many lovely photos online, people have made some amazing settings for their fairy doors and it is really inspiring. So watch this space, I will be writing again when we have made our fairy more of a home. You can see some fabulous ideas on the Irish Fairy Door’s Pinterest boards: uk.pinterest.com/irishfairydoor/happy-fairy-homes.
After school today we will be registering our fairy door on the Irish Fairy Door website: theirishfairydoorcompany.com/gb/register-your-door.
