• Method 2 of 2: Edible Pollen
• Warnings

1 Prepare all materials. To create Fairy Dust, you need a high gloss (color optional) and a non-toxic powder. As a powder, you can use talcum or chalk, which you will need to grind into a powder. Alternatively, you can use salt.

• You can also prepare a "magic" container, such as a small decorative bottle for storing pollen. Most importantly, your container must have a lid.
• Use just enough glitter and powder to make the amount you want. The ratio of these two components should be 2: 1.
• Any glitter will work for this purpose, but if you use a high quality glitter, you can create the most fabulous magic pollen.

2 Pour glitter and powder into a bowl. Mix the two together. You should have a mixture of uniform consistency.

3 Pour fairy pollen into a bottle or other container. Close the container tightly with a lid so that pollen does not accidentally scatter throughout the house.

• Use a funnel to pour the pollen into the container if the container of your choice has a narrow neck. If you don't have a funnel, simply roll up a small funnel-shaped piece of paper and secure with tape. Cut off the bottom of the leaf with scissors, making sure the bottom of the funnel matches the neck of the bottle you want to pour the pollen into.

4 Give fabulous pollen to your child. Ask your child to play with pollen outdoors only. Otherwise, the house will be in a "fabulous" mess. Your child will experience incredible delight, throwing small handfuls of pollen into the air and admiring how they, overflowing, fly!

• Don't let your child eat this fabulous pollen. It is an inedible pollen, so there can be serious consequences if a child swallows even a small amount.

Method 2 of 2: Edible Pollen

1. 1 Prepare all materials. You will need sugar and food coloring to make Edible Fairy Pollen. Decide how much magic pollen you want to make, this will determine how much sugar you need to take. When making pollen for the first time, take one glass of sugar.
   • You will also need a mixing bowl and storage container.
   • You can put pollen in a sugar bowl to use when cooking. You can get a sugar bowl at any utensil store.
2. 2 Combine sugar and food coloring in a bowl. The ratio of sugar to food coloring will vary, depending on how much fairy pollen you want to end up with. Add a few drops of food coloring to the sugar and stir well. You should have a mixture of uniform color.
   • If you are satisfied with the resulting color, do not add more dye. If you want a richer color, add a few drops and stir again. You can add the color gradually until the color of the sugar is bright enough.
3. 3 Pour colored sugar into a skillet and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Cook the sugar for 10 minutes.
   • Heat treatment fixes the color. In addition, thanks to this process, the hands of the child will not get so much dirty when he touches the magic dust.
4. 4 Remove the sugar from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. After cooling, see if your sugar has clumped together. If this happens in your case, break up these clumps so that your fabulous pollen has the desired consistency.
   • You can break up the sugar lumps using a hammer or any other suitable tool. Place the sugar in a sturdy plastic bag, then break up the lumps using a suitable tool. A rolling pin works well for this purpose.
5. 5 Pour the fairy pollen into the sugar bowl. Remember that fairy pollen has a shelf life as it is based on regular sugar and food coloring. You can store pollen in a kitchen cabinet at room temperature.
6. 6 Sprinkle pollen on your little one's favorite foods. Magic pollen will make any meal more colorful and magical.
   • You can sprinkle pollen on different dishes. For example, sprinkle on buttered toast, ice cream, or porridge. Your child will certainly eat every last spoonful if the dish is sprinkled with fairy dust.

Warnings

• Don't throw fairy dust in your eyes. This can cause soreness and irritation.
