Make a magical fairy dust jar

Create your very own bottle of magic, just like Tinkerbell’s. This sparkling fairy dust is perfect for sprinkling wishes and adding magic to your adventures. A magical activity for little dreamers!

What you'll need:

• A small cup of water

• Food colouring 

• Glitter

• Baby oil

• Clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (or plastic bottle)

• Small plastic or paper funnel (you can make your own using paper)

Get your jar ready

1. Ask a grown-up to help you to open the jar and fill it with water until it is halfway full.

2. Add 2-3 drops of food colouring and put the lid back on. Shake the jar until everything is mixed together.

3. Using the funnel, ask a grown-up to carefully pour the baby oil into the jar until it is nearly full. If you don't have a funnel, a grown-up can help you make one by rolling paper into a cone shape.

4. Now add the glitter and ask a grown-up to put the lid back on really tightly. Then gently shake it and watch the glitter swirl around.

5. If you have any stickers or ribbon at home, it’s time to decorate your jar.

6. Once you are finished, make a special wish with Tinkerbell! 

Tinkerbell's top tips

• Try mixing different colours like yellow and orange for sunset fairy dust or blue and purple for midnight magic.

• Put flower petals or other treasures inside the jar to make it extra-special.
