Here at The Little Potion Co, we don’t need much of an excuse to celebrate something whimsical—but National Unicorn Day (April 9) might just be our favourite of them all. After all, unicorns are the glitter-dusted heart of everything we love about imagination, belief, and a little bit of everyday magic.

Unicorns have pranced their way through myths and legends across centuries and cultures, from ancient China to Celtic folklore. They symbolise purity, innocence, and the kind of unexplainable magic that makes you believe in the impossible. And let’s be honest—they’re also sparkly, majestic, and absolutely fabulous.

It’s no surprise that our Rainbow Sparkles Potion Kit is hands down our best-selling kit. With potions for kindness, giving you confidence to create friendships and inspiring our imagination with rainbow dreams. Because when it comes to inspiring creativity and mindfulness through play—unicorns win, hooves down.

✨ 5 Enchanted Ways to Celebrate National Unicorn Day (Potion Co Style)

If you're looking to mark the day with some unicorn fun at home or in the classroom, we’ve brewed up some magical ideas to help:

1. Make a Unicorn Potion Grab your Unicorn Potion Kit and mix up a spell for kindness, confidence, or courage. Watch it fizz and sparkle as you say your affirmation aloud. It’s not just fun—it’s a feel-good ritual.

You could also make your own potion with :    

Ingredients (all easy to find!)                   

• • 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

  • 1 tablespoon citric acid (from the supermarket baking aisle)

  • A few drops of food colouring (pink, purple, or blue work beautifully)

  • 1 teaspoon biodegradable glitter (the sparkly kind unicorns would approve of)

  • 1/2 teaspoon edible shimmer dust or mica powder (optional for that dreamy glow)

  • A pinch of dried rose petals, lavender, or confetti stars

  • A few drops of vanilla or strawberry essence (for a magical scent)

  • A cup of water or vinegar to pour over your dry mix and make it fizz!

2. Design Your Own Magical Creature Unicorns are amazing, but what would your mythical creature look like? Wings, rainbow mane, or scales that shimmer in the moonlight? Draw it, name it, and maybe even invent a potion just for them. Here's a fun tutorial on drawing a Unicorn

3.Unicorn-Themed Affirmation Cards Write positive affirmations like “I sparkle from the inside out” or “I believe in myself” on rainbow cards and hang them around your play area. Bonus points for glittery washi tape.

4.Host a Backyard Unicorn Quest Hide “unicorn Scavenger Hunt” (sparkly stones, feathers, dried flowers) around the garden. Equip your little adventurers with potion pouches and send them on a mythical scavenger hunt.

5.Unicorn-Themed Crafts and Activities: Engage in making unicorn horns, creating unicorn art, or baking unicorn-inspired treats. These activities are especially delightful for children and can spark imagination and joy

💭 Wondering Why We Love Unicorns So Much?

Unicorns are a reminder that:

• Magic exists when we believe it does.

• Imagination is powerful.

• We all have a little sparkle inside us, waiting to shine.

They also make the best playtime companions—because who else could possibly grant wishes, gallop across rainbows, and fizz up bathwater all at once?
