THE Dummy Fairy has been helping parents get their kids off dummies with a unique approach.

She visited Rising Stars Children's Centre in Worsbrough where children were taken into the woods and were told a story about a magical creature which had its dummy taken away.

The children then hung their dummies on a tree and went off to play.

When they returned, their dummies had been taken away by the Dummy Fairy who left certificates for them in a trail of glitter.

Hannah Hinchliffe, of the nursery, said: "My four-year-old daughter Amelia has a dummy and we're trying to get rid of it. It's a really nice way to encourage children to give up their dummies."
