Create Your Fairy Potion Jars
It’s time for the magical main event — mixing your very own fairy potions! This hands-on activity is simple, sparkly, and full of fairy fun.
What You’ll Need:
- Mini glass jars or vials
- Glitter (fine, chunky, and hexagonal etc)
- Fairy spoons
- Mini funnels (optional)
- Fairy Spell Menu
💡 Tip: A mix of glitter types adds dimension and makes each potion look extra magical. Buying in bulk keeps it budget-friendly, too.
Fairy Steps
Step 1: Choose Your Jar
Set out your potion jars and invite each child to choose their very own bottle. Choose clear jars with cork or screw lids for easy filling and secure storage.
Step 2: Mix Your Magic
Kids can scoop, sprinkle, or pinch glitters into their jars, layering colours or mixing them to create a unique blend. Make it extra fun by naming the ingredients Mystic Moonbeams, Sunshine Drops, or Forest Feathers.
Step 3: Create Your Spell
Provide a simple “spell menu” with options like Love Potion, Sweet Dreams, or Happiness Blend. Kids can follow a recipe or invent their own magical mix.
Step 4: Seal & Sparkle
Once their potions are complete, kids can seal their jars and give them a gentle shake to bring the magic to life. For an extra special touch, you can help secure small screws into the corks to turn their potions into wearable necklaces they can take home.
💡 Tip: Place a tray or baking sheet under each glitter mix to catch spills and make cleanup quick and easy.

Enchanted Fairy Games
After the fairy potions are complete, keep the magic fluttering with more enchanted fun.
- Musical Mushrooms: Place mushroom stools or markers on the ground. Play music while children walk, dance, or flutter around the space. When the music stops, everyone must sit or stand on a mushroom. Remove one mushroom each round until only one fairy remains.
- Pass the Parcel: Wrap small fairy-themed prizes inside layers of wrapping paper. When the music plays, children pass the parcel around the circle. When the music stops, the child holding the parcel removes one layer of wrapping. Continue until the final layer reveals a special fairy surprise.
- Fairy Dance Freeze: Play whimsical music and let the children flutter, twirl, and dance around the space. When the music stops, everyone must freeze in their most magical fairy pose. Anyone who moves is out for that round. Continue playing and freezing until only one fairy remains.
💡 Tip: Set up a Fairy Photo Booth with enchanting wings, flower crowns, and whimsical wands for magical photos!
