Description
This kids' glitter wand is topped with a plump heart covered in deep red glitter, set on a slim gold-coloured stick with a flutter of ribbon streamers tied just beneath it. The ribbons come in raspberry, bright pink, pale pink, coral and red, with a fine gold thread running among them, so every wave sends a swish of colour trailing after the sparkle. It measures 34.6cm long, 7.2cm across at its widest and 1.8cm deep, a comfortable length for small hands to hold and wave, and it is very light, so it can be carried through a whole afternoon of make-believe without tiring an arm.
We think of it as the finishing touch for a fairy-tale outfit, the piece that turns a dress, a cape or a pair of wings into a proper costume. It belongs in the dressing-up box, ready for imaginative role play whenever a bedroom becomes a castle or the sitting room becomes an enchanted wood. The heart design sits happily with pinks and reds, but the gold-coloured stick and mixed ribbons mean it works with almost any fancy dress, from fairies and princesses to queens of hearts and storybook heroines. As a toy it invites waving, twirling and spell-casting, and the streamers give even the gentlest flick a little drama.
The wand is made from plastic, paper and fabric, with the glitter heart sitting at the top of the stick. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from water and store it flat or standing in a pot so the ribbons stay untangled. Tucked into a gift bag alongside a storybook or a sparkly hair clip, it makes a cheerful present for anyone who loves to dress up.
