Best Unicorn Games & Toys

Feel that mythical magic with this unicorn swag.

by Briana Haas

It’s safe to say unicorns have become a pretty major obsession. From unicorn costumes to unicorn onesies to Fingerling unicorns to unicorn games and unicorn sprinklers, the mystical and magical creature has a very real and lucrative hold on pop culture.

Are unicorns real? If you seriously have to ask, keep reading. Based on folklore, unicorns can only be captured by a virgin. So given those odds, we decided to instead go in search of the best unicorn-themed toys and games.

Around since antiquity, unicorns have made a huge comeback in the age of Instagram, where #unicorn now boasts over 12 million tagged photos. In turn, the one-horned wonder’s recent popularity has inspired products ranging from pool floaties to sushi rolls and Frappuccinos. We went looking for the best and discovered a colorful selection of woodland creature items for the glitter-and-rainbow loving children in your life.

Jojo will brighten your child’s day with a light up horn that cycles through a variety of colors. This magical pet unicorn responds to noise, motion, and touch with blinking eyes, head turns, and a bunch of cute noises. For ages five to 15.

The pink sparkly unicorn with iridescent sparkles on her arms and legs will even make you smile when you realize batteries are included. The best part: Fingerlings has more pets for your kid’s other nine fingers!
