There are many children's playthings that serve an additional purpose besides being an object for kids to act out their fantasies, which is an important role in itself. There are playthings that have educational benefits as well as some that promote fine motor skills. Similar to the Elf on the Shelf, fairies toys can get kids to pick up their toys by sharing with them the delightful story called the Toy Fairy by author Stephanie Thatcher.

If a person were to ask any kid who their favorite fairy is, the number one answer is often Tinker Bell. This is because she has probably been the most popular fairy out of all the other highly imaginative and inventive characters that have come about in literature over the long span of the mythology. She first captivated audiences when Disney's Peter Pan came out in theaters, but her popularity didn't end there. Since then she has appeared and been featured in many other books and TV series, and there is a toy for every one of them.

There are countless other characters who have become involved in fairy stories besides just these creatures specifically. This is because of all the different versions of fairy stories that are now on TV and in books. Other creatures that have come into play in these types of works include fireflies and other insects.

The character of Blaze is not a fairy but in fact a little firefly. She helps Tinker Bell out on her adventures in an animated TV series. Because of the fact that she is so young, many kids will find her easy to relate to.

Some kids favor the figurines and miniature that depict the character of Bobble. This is a fairy with a talent for tinkering and is about the size of a human hand. Kids who already have a toy of the character Clank might be eager to add Bobble to their collection because the two are known to be best friends. Kids also like the goggles he wears, the lenses of which (in the show) being made of drops of water.

Chloe is a garden fairy with Thai ancestry. She is great to play with outside because as a garden fairy, she loves to be out in the growing things outdoors. Kids who already have a Rosetta doll would probably love to have a Chloe toy as well because they are partners in the show that they are in.

Anyone who loves the distinct Cockney accent of Clank, a fairy character known as a sparrow man and a tinker-talent, would love to play with such a doll. His characteristics include dark hair and brown eyes, as well as fair skin. Like a lot of sparrow men, he has ears that are pointy and a shirt that is made of leaves and has no sleeves.

The keeper of all fairy knowledge and wisdom is an important role indeed, and that is what draws a lot of children to the character of Dewey, particularly those who are passionate about learning and reading. He is easy to recognize by his elaborate white mustache. He is also short and stout, even in comparison to his brethren.
