Oh, we do love a good fairy toy here at MFM – and there are LOTS out there to choose from at the moment. So we've had a good look round (yep, under every toadstool!) and done some testing, and rounded up the 10 fairy toys that'll cast a truly special spell on toddlers, preschoolers and gossamer-wing-loving schoolies.

Here's our pick of the best fairy toys we've seen...

Glimmies Polaris Triple Pack

1. Glimmies Triple Pack, £12.99

Age: 3+

What they are: Pocket-sized fairies that glow in the dark. There are umpteen different ones to collect, along with their Glimhouses, Glimtrees and even a Glimwheel.

Why we love them: They're small and affordable and, when you line up a few together on a shelf or drawer top and turn the light off, they actually look really magical. Cute-as-a-button stuff that won't break the bank or take up too much room. Lovely as night lights, too – and anything that makes bedtime something your child actually looks forward to is a winner in our book.

Age: 7+

What it is: A kit containing a pair of 40cm x 28cm pink fairy wings, 3 glitter glues, a pack of gems and instructions for decorating them.

Why we love it: No discerning small child's wardrobe is complete without fairy wings: great for make-believe, dressing-up fun – and last-minute school costume days you weren't expecting. What's special about these wings, of course, is that your child gets to customise them just as they like.

Why we love it: It's an enchanting gift for a fairy-mad kid – and we really rate the sowing-seeds aspect, too. How exciting to prepare and grow your very own fairy-and-frog habitat!
