Findings from a survey of 1,000 U.S. parents of kids aged 4 to 8 years old, conducted by Moose Toys, reveal that 75 percent of parents want to create more magical moments for their kids. Here are three easy ways to do just that, thanks to this revolutionary new toy. Resist the urge to place boundaries, and instead give them free rein to play with imagination-sparking tools.

This revolutionary new toy is special because it puts magic directly into the child’s hands—they aren’t just imitating a magician, they are a magician. Once the pieces are unboxed, let your child take the lead. They’ll start their potion, use ingredients to grant their Mixie its color, and add voice, wings, and a name before magically creating their Mixie friend—all while the cauldron bubbles, reacts to the wand, and emits real mist. You’ll find yourself believing in magic, too, when you see their reaction!
