What if a handful of colourful unicorns, rainbows and stars could turn an ordinary afternoon into a magical adventure?
With Bio DoUgh Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles for Playdough, children can create their own imaginative worlds filled with colour, texture and creativity. From enchanted unicorn gardens to rainbow skies and sparkling pretend celebrations, these reusable sensory play sprinkles bring extra possibilities to every Bio DoUgh creation.
Made in Australia using vegan wax and food-grade ingredients, Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles are biodegradable, reusable and washable with cold water.
Pair them with Bio DoUgh natural playdough for colourful, hands-on sensory play that encourages children to create, explore and imagine.
What Are Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles for Playdough?
Bio DoUgh Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles are colourful decorative pieces designed for playdough activities and imaginative sensory play.
Each mix features three magical shapes:
- Unicorns: Perfect for creating enchanted stories and fantasy worlds.
- Rainbows: Add colourful details to playdough skies, gardens and pretend celebrations.
- Stars: Create starry patterns, decorate playdough creations and bring magical scenes to life.
Unlike single-use decorations, these sprinkles are reusable and washable, allowing children to enjoy them across multiple creative activities.
They come in a convenient 240 ml reusable container for storing the pieces between play sessions.
1. Create a Magical Unicorn Playdough World
Turn a few colourful pieces of Bio DoUgh into an enchanted unicorn landscape.
Start by rolling out a favourite Bio DoUgh colour to create the base of the scene.
Press unicorn sprinkles into the dough, add rainbows to the background and scatter stars around the landscape.
Children can create imaginary pathways, mountains, clouds and gardens using different playdough colours.
Every unicorn can have its own story, and every magical world can look completely different.
For even more imaginative possibilities, explore the Bio DoUgh Figurines Collection and introduce additional characters into the adventure.
2. Make a Colourful Rainbow Sensory Play Scene
Rainbows and playdough are a colourful combination.
Choose several Bio DoUgh colours and roll them into small strips or shapes.
Arrange the colours into a rainbow, then press Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles into the surface.
Children can add stars around their rainbow, create colourful clouds or build a magical landscape underneath.
Try using Bio DoUgh Rainbow in a Bag to explore different colour combinations.
This activity encourages children to experiment with colour, arrangement and imaginative design.
3. Decorate Pretend Playdough Cupcakes
Who says pretend cupcakes cannot have unicorn decorations?
Create colourful playdough cupcakes using Bio DoUgh and cupcake cutters.
Once the cupcake shapes are ready, children can decorate them with unicorns, rainbows and stars.
Try different combinations:
- Pink playdough cupcakes with rainbow decorations
- Blue cupcakes with colourful stars
- Multicoloured cupcakes with unicorn sprinkles
- Pretend birthday cupcakes with rainbow patterns
Children can arrange their finished creations into an imaginary bakery or birthday celebration.
Remember: Bio DoUgh creations and sprinkles are toys for creative play, not food.
4. Build an Enchanted Fairy Garden
A magical garden can begin with a few pieces of playdough.
Roll out green Bio DoUgh to create a garden base.
Add colourful playdough flowers, pathways and pretend plants, then decorate the scene with Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles.
Use stars as magical garden details, rainbows as colourful decorations and unicorns as characters within the scene.
Combine the activity with Bio DoUgh playdough accessories to introduce cutters, rolling tools and other creative possibilities.
Children can continue adding new details as their imaginary garden grows.
5. Create Starry Playdough Patterns
Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles can also be used for simple pattern-making activities.
Flatten a piece of Bio DoUgh and arrange the sprinkles into different sequences.
For example:
- Star, rainbow, star, rainbow
- Unicorn, star, unicorn, star
- Rainbow, unicorn, star, rainbow, unicorn, star
Children can copy a pattern or invent their own.
Try using different Bio DoUgh colours as backgrounds to create even more combinations.
6. Make Magical Playdough Names
Combine alphabet cutters with Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles for a personalised sensory play activity.
Children can cut out the letters of their names using colourful Bio DoUgh.
Once the letters are arranged, decorate them with stars, rainbows and unicorns.
Try creating a different design for every letter.
This activity combines letter exploration, creative decoration and hands-on sensory play.
7. Create a Unicorn Birthday Sensory Play Activity
Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles are a fun addition to pretend birthday-themed play.
Children can create colourful playdough cakes, cupcakes and party decorations, then use the sprinkles to personalise their creations.
Add number cutters to create pretend birthday ages or alphabet cutters to spell short birthday messages.
The result is an imaginative birthday setup children can rearrange and recreate.
8. Combine Rainbow Sprinkles with Biodegradable Glitter
For an extra touch of sparkle, combine Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles with Bio DoUgh biodegradable glitter.
Children can create starry skies, magical gardens or colourful pretend celebrations using different textures.
Try pressing rainbow and unicorn shapes into the dough before adding a small amount of glitter around them.
Using different decorative materials creates new opportunities to experiment with colour, texture and design.
9. Create a Unicorn Sensory Play Tray
A themed sensory play tray can make it easy to organise a creative activity.
Start with a selection of Bio DoUgh colours and add a few accessories.
A simple unicorn-themed setup could include:
- Bio DoUgh natural playdough
- Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles
- Silicone rolling pin
- Silicone play mat
- Flower and shape cutters
- Biodegradable glitter
- Favourite Bio DoUgh figurines
Children can choose their own materials and decide what to create.

Why Add Sprinkles to Playdough Activities?
Playdough is already a versatile material for open-ended creative play.
Adding decorative sprinkles introduces another way for children to interact with their creations.
Explore Colours and Shapes
Unicorns, rainbows and stars give children different shapes to recognise, arrange and combine.
Encourage Imaginative Storytelling
A unicorn shape might become the main character in an imaginary adventure.
A rainbow could become a magical bridge.
A collection of stars might become a nighttime sky.
Experiment with Patterns
Children can create repeating patterns, arrange shapes into groups or decorate their playdough in different sequences.
Practise Fine Motor Movements
Picking up, positioning and gently pressing small decorative pieces into playdough involves precise hand and finger movements.
Enjoy Open-Ended Play
There is no single finished design children need to achieve.
They can create something, reshape the playdough and begin again.
Made in Australia with Vegan Wax
Bio DoUgh Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles are made in Australia using vegan wax and food-grade ingredients.
They are designed for decorative sensory play and can be pressed into playdough, arranged into patterns or used as part of imaginative scenes.
Although made using food-grade ingredients, the sprinkles are toys and must not be eaten.
Biodegradable, Reusable and Washable
One of the practical features of Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles is that they can be enjoyed across multiple play sessions.
The pieces are:
- Biodegradable: Made with biodegradable materials.
- Reusable: Designed for repeated creative activities.
- Washable: Can be cleaned with cold water.
- Easy to store: Supplied in a reusable 240 ml container.
After playtime, gently wash the pieces with cold water when needed, allow them to dry and return them to their container.
This makes it easy to bring them out again for another colourful playdough activity.
A Fun Screen-Free Activity for Kids
Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles can be part of a simple screen-free activity for weekends, rainy afternoons, playdates or school holidays.
Children might spend one afternoon creating an enchanted unicorn garden and another decorating pretend cupcakes.
The same pieces can become part of completely different playdough creations depending on the colours, tools and accessories available.
Age Guidance and Supervision
Bio DoUgh Rainbow Unicorn Sprinkles contain small parts and are intended for children aged 3 years and older with adult supervision.
They are designed for creative sensory play and are not food.
