At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.

Of all the mythical creatures, unicorns are some of the best-loved.
Stories about these legendary creatures have circulated for generations, their subjects enchanting countless children. There's even a National Unicorn Day (April 9th, in case you were wondering).
If your little one can't get enough of these majestic creatures, a unicorn toy might just become their most treasured possession. There are many unicorn toys on offer: soft, stuffed toys in the shape of a unicorn, display unicorn pieces and even unicorn hoppers. From Myla the Unicorn, who can sing, light up and change colours, to a fairy unicorn garden that grows real grass, unicorn-themed toys make for some of the coolest out there, and there are so many to choose from.
We've gathered together a range of the best unicorn toys on the market so you can pick the perfect treat for your little unicorn-lover. Take a look below.
If your child would like something other than a unicorn plush toy, take a look at these slime kits and these garden toys.
This 'Bashful Unicorn' from soft toy favourite Jellycat is so adorable we had to put it as our top pick; gift it to your child and watch them fall in love! It can be enjoyed by children as young as one (and is likely to be treasured for many years afterwards) and it's beautifully designed; we love the fluffy pink tail, shimmering horn and sweet, almost quizzical facial expression. Plus, its super soft plush is amazingly silky, making it the perfect snuggle partner for your little one.
This Vtech Myla the Magical Unicorn was our favourite interactive unicorn toy. She comes with a makeup brush, palette, microphone and five cute little hair accessories so your child can make her over to their heart's content. Just choose a colour from the palette and swipe the makeup brush over her horn, lids and wings to see how they magically change colour. She also sings, tells your child their lucky colour and offers a prediction for the day. This Myla unicorn is sure to charm your child!
If your unicorn-mad youngster is looking for bedroom decor to reflect their passion this giant unicorn teddy is sure to fit the bill. At 32 inches high, it's built to be something of a centrepiece, and the soft fur, glittering silver accents, pink hooves, colourful stars and fluffy pink mane and tail make it even more of a showstopper. Just be mindful that this is a decorative piece and not a ride on unicorn!
This mythical Playmobil playset is sure to spark your child’s imagination. Complete with four unicorns, two Playmobil fairies, a fairy island, a baby dragon and a floating dolphin, your child will have all the tools they need to create their very own magical unicorn kingdom. An ideal set for kids who love dolls and unicorns to get lost in make-believe games.
If you have a green-fingered child with a penchant for all things unicorn, this magical garden set is one of the best unicorn gifts for kids you can buy. Plant the grass seeds in the dish provided and watch it grow; the fresh green shoots make the perfect enchanted garden for Fairy Sweet Pea and her unicorn friend. The figurines provided are really sweet and the growing aspect adds an educational element that is sure to benefit your little one. You're not just limited to the grass seeds included, either; there are all number of things you could choose to plant! And for £15, you can't go wrong.
Okay, so babies are probably too young to show a preference for unicorns, but that doesn't mean parents can't indulge their own obsession. This cute little unicorn toy from children's favourite Skip Hop is perfect for babies and toddlers. There are tons of sensory elements to improve your child's cognitive development and the sweet, whimsical design is sure to charm adults and children alike. Includes a teether and a handy strap for sensory stimulation on the go.
This one loses a few points for the price, but if you can afford it this interactive unicorn doll is the sort of gift that will elate a young child. StarLily is fully responsive to touch and sound, and can stand, sit and lie down. With over 100 sounds and movements for your child to discover, you're sure to get your money's worth, and her 'powers' grow as she's played with. Her horn lights up in different colours, her sparkling wings flutter and her pastel-coloured mane can be brushed and styled in whatever way your child chooses. This is the sort of gift your little one will love and treasure for years to come.
This is a great unicorn toy for children with an artistic temperament. The handcrafted unicorn figurine comes plain and white, ready to be painted with whatever design your child chooses. The pearly paints have a lovely shimmering quality that really adds to the overall finish; your child will be left with a great hand-painted ornament that they can enjoy even after the painting is done.
One of the best unicorn toys for budding fashionistas, your little one will love to channel their inner celeb-diva as they prance about with this on their arm. This rainbow unicorn toy features a plush unicorn stuffed animal inside a cute metallic handbag. The toy unicorn is super soft and fully removable, so you're essentially getting two toys for the price of one - bonus!
This cute unicorn hopper is an excellent way to encourage young kids to get up and active whilst indulging their love for unicorns. Just pump her up, set your child on her back and watch them bounce away, holding her ears for balance. One of the best unicorn toys to encourage exercise and outdoor play, your child can use her in races, chase games and outdoor make-believe fun. Just note that a pump is not included - we recommend purchasing one separately to save time.
