Tiny World Terrariums

Here are some tiny terrariums that my daughter and I made last weekend. 
Inspired my Made by Mavis and all of those other Etsy sellers who make lovely terrariums, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for interesting jars.  I finally found this cute round marmalade jar (right) and patiently waited for the marmalaide to disappear.

We made little accessories for our moss gardens out of polymer clay.  My daughter decided to make a birdbath, which I think is pretty ingenious.  Yes you do see a worm in her jar. We found it in the moss that we collected and in a week moment I let her add it to her jar.  I thought it looked pretty cute in this picture but based on it's lack of movement post photo, I think it might be.... well you know. 

I opted for a little more of a minimalist jar with only some mushrooms and some stones.
The moss we got during a nature walk through our neighborhood.  I just brought a plastic baggie and a teaspoon with me and had her be the look out while I quick scooped up moss here and there.  I think that if I keep them moist the moss will fill in a little more which will be nice.
