Spent too much money in Argos this weekend but found loads of bargains!!

Found these though, lovely for little girls but wondering how the Pixie Silk is going to pan out (especially if it is anything like those worms that you wind around your fingers!!)

Could you tell me a bit more about these. You clip them in your hair or to your clothes and then they fly around via the pixie silk. I was looking at maybe for my 5 year old niece?

I wouldn't bother with these, strings make them too flimsy. An expensive novelty...

To be honest, I am not sure as they are sealed in the pack but there is an instructional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6NPtzo-nEU

My DD would probably use it without the strings in the 'fairy garden' she has in her bedroom.

Sometimes you just have to use your imagination and for £8 you get a fluttering fairy with wings.

My DD 5 got one last Xmas. She loves it. She gets to use the silk now and again but she's happy to play with it as it is. She got quite good at flying it.

I got them for my seven and nine year old cousins and they couldnt even manage to keep them in tact so defo not sutiable for a five year old. ME on the other hand loved them lol
