Just as seashells house the sound and spirit of the sea, so too the forest houses the sound and spirit of the legendary fairies. A 1997 Parents' Choice Gold Award winner, Kristen's Fairy House takes its viewers on a quiet journey of many unexpected discoveries. Young Kristen ventures into the peaceful surroundings of an island off the coast of Maine with her talented Aunt Tracy, a storybook artist. Together they explore a wonderful woodsy land dedicated to the creation of fairy houses. As the week--and Kristen's own fairy house project--progresses, the two share simple moments of heartwarming pleasure: a cozy campfire, a breakfast of blueberry pancakes, a late-night waltz in their quaint cottage. The entire movie is shot as a documentary, narrated in retrospective prose by Kristen. Throughout the story, she learns the importance of viewing the world with an artist's eye, appreciating beauty in the smallest packages. Its simple style, harmonious score, and inviting scenery make this short feature tremendously enjoyable for youngsters old enough to ponder the reality of fairies and adults young enough to let them. The videotape package includes a handout, illustrated by Aunt Tracy, that describes tips for building a fairy house like Kristen's. Upon viewing, kids will probably want to dig right in and build their own. --Liane Thomas

 Kristen's fairy House September 17, 2008
Wonderful video for those people of all ages who believe in magical things and places.
Wonderful, but a word of caution April 2, 2008

My six year old daughter LOVES this movie, and is now enthralled with building fairy houses in our backyard. She "collects nature" wherever she goes to add to her stash of building supplies! However, after her initial viewing of the movie she was in tears because no real fairies ever showed up to live in the house Kristen made. I was disappointed, because I had wanted her to love it and have a good experience. After her initial shock and sadness wore off, she loved it. But if I had it to do over, I would prepare her ahead of time. If you have a sensitive or overly imaginative child, you may want to make it clear up front, before she watches it, or during the movie, that no real fairies will show up to live in the house!
Beautiful Story and Beautiful Scenery April 2, 2008
I purchased this for my little Twin Granddaughters and oh truth be told..for myself :o) I love fairy story books and movies and this one was a real joy to watch with them...we all loved it and are now planning on making our own little Fairy House in the garden this summer.
Love the Fairy Houses October 1, 2007
Kristen's Fairy House is a beautiful movie for little girls -- it emphasizes the magic in nature itself. The scenery is lovely. We are taking a trip up to Maine to one of the islands where fairy houses are commonly built, and this movie really got our girls excited about it.
 Sparks imaginations August 8, 2007
We heard about fairy houses about 5 years ago and started in small ways around our *very* suburban home. My 7, 4 and 2 1/2 year old sat still in front of the tv watching this entire video(which is rare). We have always associated them with fairies and not butterflys, however. I was somewhat saddened that my 7 year old began to feel that fairies weren't real but I was hopeful again at the end of the movie when they all ran outside to build a new fairy house in the rain. They all even put on their fairy wings to build it! So even though they were familiar with the idea, it still sparked their imagination. The Rainbow Fairy book series by Daisy Meadows may also be a nice way to continue the idea for an early reader.
