Fairies fans, the Tinker Bell Velvet Costume with
matching accessories will help them take flight on their

sequins, and is completed with cape, leggings and a
matching hat.
The Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure game for Nintendo DS allows girls to take
flight as the beloved Tinker Bell and embark on an exciting quest to find the lost
treasure north of Never Land. Fans can create their own Fairy and explore the world
