Magic Belles are tiny, jingly fairies. Each Magic Belle has her own unique signature jingle. When a few Magic Belles come together they jingle in harmony and, when all six get together, they create a marvelous, magical symphony! You can also play Dress Up with them, print out arts and crafts activities, and read stories online, as well.
