Welcome to Mama Magic.

Get yourself nice and comfy now.

In your bed,

Get your blankets just right,

Get your pillows just how you like them,

Snuggle up with your favorite soft toy and close your eyes.

We're going to find out how the unicorn found its sparkle.

So I want you to imagine now that you're walking through a beautiful enchanted forest and you're surrounded by beautiful big trees.

The air in this forest smells so fresh and so clean.

And there are beautiful birds chirping and flying from tree to tree.

You see lots of cute little animals as you're walking.

And one of these cute little animals scurries up ahead of you and then looks back at you as if saying to you,

Come with me I want to show you something.

So you follow this cute little animal friend and you weave in and out of trees and around bushes and make your way together through this enchanted forest until you come to a river.

You are amazed to see the most beautiful rainbow bridge crossing this river.

It's shining and glowing and sparkling in the sunlight.

Cute little animal friend goes right up to this bridge and then looks back at you as if to say,

Here you go,

This is what you've been looking for.

It's just so beautiful and you're so curious about,

Thank you cute little animal friend.

You start with this magical rainbow.

As you walk over the bridge it feels like you're walking into it.

When you step off the bridge on the other side of the field,

This field has the most luscious soft green grass.

In the distance you can see two unicorns and they're happily chewing on the grass and they too are sparkling in the sunlight.

They almost look like they're glowing and they're so beautiful.

As you look around you,

You see some more unicorns in the distance and you realize you must have walked into unicorn world.

You start walking through this field amazed at what you are seeing and as you're looking at all the beautiful things around you,

You nearly trip over something on the grass just at your feet.

You look down and there's a little unicorn there,

Much smaller than the other ones that you've been seeing.

It must be just a child you think and it's not sparkling or glowing like the other ones.

In fact as you look down at this little unicorn you can see that it's actually looking quite sad.

You sit down next to this little unicorn and ask it,

Why are you so sad?

The little unicorn looks at you and says,

I'm sad because I've lost my sparkle.

I'm not glowing and sparkling like the other unicorns are anymore and I used to be one of the sparkliest and brightest unicorns.

And you say to the little unicorn,

Well where did you lose it?

And the little unicorn says,

I don't know.

And so you say,

Come on,

I'll help you find it.

And you start looking through the lush green grass around you and the both of you walk further and look under bushes and around trees on the edge of the field.

You've hunted through most of the field.

When you stop and you say to the little unicorn,

I don't really know what I'm looking for.

What does a sparkle look like exactly?

And the little unicorn looks as confused and lost as you do.

So you have a think and then you ask,

Okay so when did you lose it?

And little unicorn sits and thinks for a moment and then says,

Oh I know it was just after another unicorn at school said something mean to me.

After that my sparkle was gone.

You are not sure what to do.

So you just put your arm around the little unicorn because you can remember sometimes when people have said mean things to you and it did kind of make you feel like you lost your sparkle.

And you know what that feels like.

It doesn't feel very nice.

Just then a beautiful radiant sparkling glowing big unicorn walks over to you and little unicorn and you can just tell right away that this is the little unicorn's mummy.

She's beautiful.

Beautiful swishy sparkly tail and mane.

Shiny warm loving eyes and the softest softest coat.

She walks over to the two of you and she knows exactly what's going on.

She says it's okay my little uni.

I want you to think of some times now when people said good things to you.

When people liked what you did and thought you were good at things and what they said about that.

The unicorn sits and thinks about this and maybe you could think about this too.

Sometimes when people have really liked what you've done and told you so.

How good that felt.

Mummy unicorn says think of the things that you're really good at little uni.

Because you are really good at lots of things.

Little uni sits and thinks of these things and so do you.

What are you really good at?

What do you love doing?

What are you proud of?

And then mummy unicorn says to uni think of all the people that love you uni.

Me,

Your dad,

Your friends,

Your brothers and sisters,

Your teachers,

Your grandparents.

And maybe you can think about this too.

Think of all the people that love you and the warm hugs and the caring that you feel between you and these people that love you.

Look at little unicorn and little unicorn is smiling.

Little unicorn is glowing.

Little unicorn is sparkling.

And little unicorn says mummy I think I got my sparkle back.

I can feel it.

It was inside me all along.

And mummy unicorn says yes my little uni.

And now that you've got your sparkle back you can forgive that other unicorn that said a mean thing to you.

They were just having a bad day and they didn't mean to hurt you.

Can you forgive them little uni?

Little uni nods and laughs and jumps up and down and swishes their beautiful tail and mane and sparkly dust comes out of them and starts flying all around in the air around you.

Little uni starts dancing and playing and even doing cartwheels in the lush green grass.

And you are so happy for little unicorn.

But it is getting late and you're starting to feel tired.

Maybe it's time for you to go back over the bridge,

Back to the enchanted forest and back to your bed.

Little unicorn knows exactly what you're thinking and says to you can I come with you for a little while and I'll help you get to sleep by sprinkling you with my magic sparkles.

Do you want me to do that?

Asks little uni.

Yes please you say.

So little unicorn starts becoming smaller and smaller and smaller until little unicorn is so little that you can pick them up in your hand and carry them with you.

And this is what you do.

You hold that little unicorn ever so gently in your hand and walk back over the beautiful rainbow bridge and into the enchanted forest.

Then you close your eyes and you feel yourself back in your bed.

But you're still holding little unicorn.

Your unicorns come right back into your bed with you.

You open your hand so that little unicorn can be free and you feel your hand starting to be filled with little unicorns.

Everywhere that little unicorn spreads sparkle dust into your body and makes it feel all warm,

Cozy and relaxed.

So little unicorn is walking around and around in your hand now and sprinkling this beautiful sparkle.

Your whole hand is relaxing and feeling really comfy.

Then little unicorn starts walking up your arm all the way up to your elbow and all the way up to your shoulder and that whole arm is filled with unicorn sparkle and it feels really nice.

Then little unicorn walks along your shoulder and up your neck spreading its beautiful sprinkly dust.

It's magical sparkle that's relaxing your whole neck.

Unicorn walks on your hair all the way up to the top of your head and they shake their beautiful unicorn mane and a whole lot of sparkle comes out into your hair.

It starts relaxing your whole head.

Little unicorn walks down onto your forehead and you can feel the sparkle landing on your forehead going into your eyes relaxing all of these areas.

Little unicorn walks out on your nose down over your lips and your chin and then starts walking around and around your face spreading so much sparkle and every part of your face starts to feel really warm and comfortable and soft.

Then little unicorn walks down your throat,

Turn over onto the other shoulder,

Down the other arm,

All the way down to your elbow,

Right down into the other hand.

Little unicorn starts walking around and around the palm of that other hand spreading so much sparkle that that hand becomes so soft,

So comfy.

Now little unicorn jumps from that hand up to your chest,

Starts walking around and around on your chest and on your tummy all the way around.

Little unicorn's doing circles,

Sprinkling and spreading this beautiful sparkle dust all over your whole tummy and chest.

Then little unicorn starts walking down one of your legs,

Can feel the sparkle soaking into the top of one of your legs and then your knee and then the lower part of that leg,

Then the ankle and now your foot.

There is sparkle all the way down that leg and all over that foot.

Little unicorn starts jumping from toe to toe,

Spreading this magical sparkle and then little unicorn jumps to the toes of the other foot,

Jumping from toe to toe,

Spreading this gorgeous sparkle and then walking down onto your foot,

Over your ankle.

Little unicorn's making their way up your other leg,

Sprinkling it all with magical unicorn dust.

Up,

Up,

Up to your knee and up to the top part of that leg and then little unicorn makes their way back to the palm of your hand and curls up in a cozy little ball and starts to go to sleep in the palm of your hand,

Still glowing,

Still sparkling and you can lie here with little unicorn feeling their glow and their sparkle and as you drift off into your dream world,

Little unicorn's gonna be there to play with you.

You can listen to this music now and start to drift off with little unicorn.

What will you do together in your dream world?

What adventures will you have?
