The Magic Belles are tiny, jingly beings who live in the colourful valley of Bellevue, and are each named and look after life's special wonders: rainbows, flowers, cupcakes, butterflies, stars, and love. I think that this is inspired, because Betty (my four year old) will often tell anyone who will listen that her favourite things, are indeed, all of the above - so when being presented with this website she literally did not know what to do with herself - it was lovely to watch her wide-eyed excitement. It was as if the whole thing had been personally designed for her!
There is so much to do on this website: you can make music with each of the Belle's individual jingles, you can colour them in either online or by using the printables, you can join the Flutterbud club where you can hear their latest news, or send in your own photos and drawings to be published on the blog. You can download goodies such as pretty screensavers, or bunting, and you can learn more about each special wonder in more detail, and download your own Spotter's guide and tick each wonder off as you find them.
I have spent many an hour trawling through websites looking for a suitable one for Betty to use, and often it is a fruitless exercise. I am genuinely thrilled to have been given the opportunity to discover and review this fabulous, well thought-out, magical, and wholesome website.
If you have little girls aged 3-7 years, please do go and discover the Magic Belles for yourself.
You could also print off this colouring sheet of the Magic Belles which has been created specially for my readers (Betty will be colouring her sheet in soon, and sending it into the Flutterbud club!)
