5yr old birthday ballet party - any ideas??

[BBBeeRose]

DD has told me she wants a ballet party - any ideas for things i can do?

Have be hauled up at home with ill children for 4 days and have not really given it much thought and now am all panicky.

No advice, but I am going to lurk for ideas!

What sort of notice are we working on here? And how many guests?

Erm.. off the top of my head... lots of pink. Ballet shoes cake. They could decorate wands? (I know, that's fairies and not ballet but the two seem to get mixed up a lot!) If you are really craft-orientated you could buy loads of net and make them tutus to take home instead of party bags?

Are there boys invited? If so you have a whole other set of challenges!!

Musical statues could be ballet type dancing to suitable music?

You need "how to be a ballerina" on vid or dvd and leave them to it! Then feed them, have ballerina tableware (have seen ballet shoes stuff), ballerina party bags etc.

You will obv have to wear a big pink tutu yourself!

dependant on how 'themed' you want it - angellina ballerina has lots of party stuff.
What age are they? You could set a game for them to come up with their own ballet dance to perform at the end of the party to parents?
