The best fairy toys for a magical playtime experience

Nothing is more rewarding than finishing a puzzle. Puzzles are a brilliant way to promote brain development in toddlers and children. The fairy palace design comes to life when they rub the patches of heat-sensitive ink and uncover a surprise hidden underneath. Pure magic!

One reviewer said, "WOW, I didn’t expect the thermo-changing parts to be all that great, but they’re amazing. Got this for my five-year-old and she loves it! It’s also good enough quality that it holds up when my two-year-old gets involved.

Get out the children's dressing up box and add this fancy dress rainbow fairy costume to the collection. Whether they're putting on a play in the front room or throwing a fairy afternoon tea, this get-up will come in handy for any last-minute birthday invites.

One reviewer said, "I am very satisfied with the outfit, I know my granddaughter will love it because she loves fairies, unicorns, rainbows and all magical things. Its beautiful and wonderful value 🌈🧚."

A den is the best place for toddlers and children to hang out. The bonus of this being a colour-in cardboard fairy playhouse makes it all the more appealing. What's more, the cheap price makes it magical for parents.

One reviewer said, "Perfect idea, the perfect present. Entertainment for hours! Well recommended and a much better canvas for those pesky coloured pens instead of the walls or sofa."

Teach your child about responsibilities with their very own fairy garden. There are not one, but two growing areas for the grass. Top tip: get your child to blow on the magic candle through the window to make it light up and play a tune.

One reviewer said, "Fantastic! My daughter loves this and enjoyed putting down the grass seed, which started growing in a few days! A great gift to get little ones interested in gardening and looking after something."

Is your youngster in their Peppa Pig stage? If you're watching George Pig, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig and the rest of the gang daily, then the Princess Peppa should be at the top of your gift list. Oh, goody!

One reviewer said, "It's so cute. We're on our second Princess Peppa as my two-year-old daughter is very attached to this. Bedtime only happens when Princess Peppa is with her. Love the dainty size of this; it fits in the hand perfectly. It is so soft and cleans easily. The quality is excellent. The wings are iridescent and the wand shimmery."

Choochoose a fairy inspired train set to challenge your toddler's problem-solving skills. They'll love building the track and watching as the carriage departs the station.

One reviewer said, "It's hard to find toys for a child transitioning into toddlerhood, but this is perfect. It is well made and is super easy to put together. It came with an instruction sheet, which I read through. The little train is magnetized, so very easy for a toddler to use. Their favourite activity was placing one car at top of the hill and letting it go down until it stops. Sounds simple, but was fun for her. I will be getting the other parts of the train, as it is easy to add on."
