It was glorious mild spring Thursday at Schoolmaster Hill in Franklin Park for the Third Annual Fairy House Building Workshop sponsored by the Boston Parks Department and the Franklin Park Coalition.
Over a hundred boys and girls scampered over the drumlin collecting branches, leaves and cones to build houses for the magical woodland creatures that reappear in the springtime in New England fields and woods.
Storytelling and books from Read Boston and the MassHort plant education tent were also on hand as well as face painting.
The workshop showed kids of all ages how to have fun simply using natural items that are just lying around on the park floor under trees and shrubs.
