Charmkins
were "scented jewellery playmates" produced
in the early 1980's by Hasbro. They were tiny figures
or animals, about an inch high and each came with a piece
of jewellery, such as a hair comb, necklace or clip. The
Charmkins were interchangeable with all jewellery. Each
figure also came with a story on the back of their card.
There was also a whole
array of accessories, such as jewellery, tea sets and
stickers, animated videos, books and several playsets.

Charmkins booklet!

While
Lady Slipper danced on the pond, Freckle Face looked
down at her reflection in the water and wrinkled up
her little freckled nose. "Oh, I want so much
to be special, like Lady Slipper, but I'm just plain
old Freckle Face," she said sadly. A big tear
ran down her little cheek.
"I heard that," said a soft voice behind
her. There stood the Primrose Fairy. "Don't think
you aren't special just because you aren't someone
else. You're special because you're different from
everyone else!"
"But what's so special about me?" asked
Freckle Face.
"Well for one thing, you have more freckles than
anyone else," she explained. "I want to
give you a touch of magic to remind you how special
you are. Every time you feel sad, you'll find yourself
in a secret Lollipop Patch!"
The Lollipop Patch magic worked for Freckle Face.
And now whenever she meets someone with unkind thought
about themselves, her freckles light up and she passes
on the magic. The Charmkins think that is very special
indeed!

MacIntosh
Bear and Rosie Raccoon roamed the woodlands together
spring, summer, and fall. But when the first snowflakes
fell, MacIntosh took off for the hills to hibernate.
"Bears sleep all winter," explained MacIntosh.
"Apples are the only food I like and the orchard
is bare all winter."
Rosie was upset because she misses her friend when
he's hibernating. She pleaded with the Primrose Fairy
to help her. So the Primrose Fairy gave Rosie a bag
of special apple seeds, saying, "Plant one seed
in front of your friend's winter home, and he'll be
back with you quicker than you can say applesauce!"
So Rosie planted a magic seed by the door of MacIntosh's
cave. Very shortly the most lovely little orchard
popped up. Sure enough, there was MacIntosh, munching
away and forgetting all about how bears sleep through
the winter. And even though Rosie Raccoon only planted
a magic seed once a week, MacIntosh was one fat but
sleepy little bear that winter. |

Primrose
Fairy was very special. With just a drop of water
from her magic watering can, she could make beautiful
gardens pop up everywhere.
"I want that can," whispered Poison Ivy
to herself. "Then I could get rid of all of the
beautiful flowers and rule the woodlands."
Pop-Corn overheard Poison Ivy and so he set out to
warn the Primrose Fairy. Finally he found her tied
with a vine to an old tree stump. And Poison Ivy was
not far away. In her haste to steal the magic can,
she had spilled some of the water. But instead of
flowers, a huge garden filled with thorny plants had
popped up and trapped Poison Ivy.
Pop-Corn released the Primrose Fairy so she could
recover her watering can. After celebrating her rescue,
the Primrose Fairy made the best garden ever and everyone
especially enjoyed it because there was no Poison
Ivy. |
