Many little girls ride ponies in their dreams, but some ride unicorns. If you have a daughter with a healthy imagination who thinks that having a magical creature such as this one as a pet is a good idea, think of something special for her next birthday. Her present could be a plush unicorn, and her party could involve the theme of unicorns.

Unicorns are described as magnificent beasts that are just like horses, only they have a strong, single horn protruding from their foreheads. They are believed to be creatures of the forest, kind but impossible to tame. Over different time periods different things about them were believed. Some thought it to have healing powers, while others thought its horn could detect and neutralize the effects of poison.

It is unlikely that people will ever know if unicorns were once real. Regardless, your little girl is quite capable of imagining all sorts of wonderful adventures with unicorns, and its almost a certainty that she will adore an enchanted forest and mystical creature birthday party. There are many things that you can do for this special day.

Starting with the gift, stuffed animals in the form of unicorns come in all sizes, and several colors. They may have gold or silver horns, and can be decorated with colored rainbows or stars. They could have accessories with them as well, or something extra can be purchased separately. A brush for the mane and tail is a great idea. The gift can be personalized as well, embroidered, or embossed with the child's name and any other appropriate detail. This will make it extra special.

Try to decorate the party room just like an enchanted forest, with paper cuttings of forestry and flowers. If you have large purple, pink or blue material you can also use them as a canopy above the party area, or along the walls. Above, stars could twinkle, and to the side, flowers could wave. A couple of large paper unicorns will complete the room.

For an extra special affect some lights can be used in a clever way. Rows of white lights turned to a soft glow will give a good night-time feel to the room, especially if most of the natural light can be taken out of the room by closing curtains etc. Sometimes flashing lights are lovely too.

All the table decorations, such as tablecloth, plates, cups, party boxes and serviettes could be adorned with the mystical creature. The cake, of course, must be suitable as well. To add some fun, use ice-cream cones in a clever way as the horns of unicorns. Perhaps the children could dip then in chocolate, or ice them, and then decorate them with sweets and sparkles.

If your child loves horses, then consider hiring a pony. Make a horn to go on the pony's head, if he doesn't mind. A fun party game is to let the children sit in a circle, and have music at hand. Give them a horned-pony to pass from one to the other, and stop the music at intervals. Give a prize, or let the child who is holding the pony when the music stops leave the game. Once all is done, the plush unicorn present will keep the magic going.
