Decorations

When it's time for the curtain call, try these childrens party ideas for the ballerina birthday girl and her friends.

Take her breath away with her very own stage! If you cannot hang real curtains, make them with streamers. Hang several lengths of streamers from ceiling to floor near one wall (make sure they're touching each other across the width). When it's time for curtain call, draw the streamer curtain back from the sides and tie with another length of streamer. Garnish with pink, white, or purple balloons on either side of the stage. Leave enough room between the curtain and the wall to allow the ballerinas to set up before the curtain opens.

Behind or above the curtain, hang a prima ballerina personalized birthday banner. It's the perfect backdrop to the stage and your birthday ballerina will delight at seeing her name on the marquee!

Set up several small tables around the room with lamps and mirrors. Arrange for one of the following childrens party ideas at each one for an authentic "hair and makeup" backstage feel:

• Body crystals will give a sparkle to more than just her eyes!
• The dreamy ribbon party activity makes it easy for each ballerina make a necklace that is just right for her debut.
• Help her get her hair just right with brush and mirror sets.
• At the make-up table, provide high-heel lip gloss keychains for each dancer.
• Perfectly painted fingernails are the finishing touch. Nail polish kits are the perfect way to accessorize!

Before the curtain rises, help them learn a few ballet steps! Use paper slipper cutouts with large numbers on them to assist them in learning the routine. Affix more slippers to the walls for decoration.

When it's time to set the banquet table, the Prima Ballerina birthday party pack has what you need for an elegant presentation. This set contains table settings for eight guests along with a lovely ballerina centerpiece and activity placemats to keep the girls busy between dinner courses.

Add to your table decor by setting an All Dressed Up jewelry stand party activity at each place. Each little girl can design the dress of her dreams on the included stand with dress décor (also included).

Create a magical feeling in the space with lots of pink, purple, and white balloons. If you truly want to transform the room, you can't have too many balloons for the little girls at your ballerina birthday party. Consider adding inexpensive tulle or other fabric over chairs and furniture to completely transform the room.

When the curtain falls, shower the girls with dainty flower petals or present each with a flower in lieu of the traditional opening night bouquet.

Food

Try these ballerina childrens party ideas to find the perfect treats for your little lady!

• Serve a proper tea in these delightful purple goblets.
• The perfect companion to tea time has to be the finger sandwich. To make them for your ballerina party, make several light sandwiches. Choices that will be popular with kids are chicken salad, cucumber and tomato with ranch, or pimento cheese with thinly sliced ham. To serve, trim the crust off and cut into quarters. Consider cutting one type of sandwich diagonally and the other on the perpendicular to tell them apart at a glance.
• Serve an elegant fruit platter with bite-sized offerings of strawberries, melons, apples, grapes, or kiwi.
• An assortment of cheeses is not only perfectly ladylike, but a perennial favorite of kids everywhere!
• Serve an exquisite sorbet for a refreshing end to the meal. Blend frozen store bought sorbet with a bit of sparkling water for a delightful fizzy drink.

When your search for childrens party ideas turns to cake, try these ideas:

• For a twist on traditional cupcakes, try this idea for little ladies. Bake a sheet cake. Before icing, cut it evenly into single-serving squares. Very carefully cut each square into two pieces, creating two thin layers. Ice the top of each piece with white or pink icing and place one on top of the other. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a slice of fresh fruit.
• Ice a sheet cake or a two layer round cake with white icing, and trim in pink. Pipe in a star wand, like the one found in the Prima Ballerina favor boxes, and write your special birthday message in pink. Use edible glitter – found in stores near cake decorating supplies – to cover the star on the wand.
• Finally, sprinkle in a glitter trail for the star. Let it dance across the cake in a whimsical pattern.

If you're looking for unique childrens party ideas, this one will stand out in a crowd!

Bake four round 8" or 9" cake layers. Stack them, making sure to ice between layers. Leaving a small flat center at the top (about 1"), trim cakes at an angle from the top to create a cone shape resembling the full part of a gown. Dress a fashion doll in a pretty pink or white top or dress, and carefully wrap her in plastic wrap from the waist down. Once she is tightly wrapped, insert the doll into the top of the cake, centering her down through the flat spot. Now you are ready to ice the cake "skirt." Choose pink or white icing that compliments her top to cover the cake. Be sure to trim the bottom and add any decorative embellishments. When you are finished, you'll have the perfect princess ballerina to complete your party!

Party Favors

Prima Ballerina favor boxes are the perfect way to send your dancers off in style!

They'll be ready for opening night with a delightful feather ring, faux pearl necklace, body glitter, mini star wand, Prima Ballerina blowout, and sticker sheet.

Send each girl home with her All Dressed Up jewelry stand party activity from the table, and include a writing favor set so she can record her favorite memories of opening night!

Thank You Notes

No list of childrens party ideas is complete without an exciting way to thank the guests, and when you use this idea, little dancers are sure not to forget your ballerina birthday party! To preserve their memories as well as your own, take candid shots of the dancers as they prepare for their grand debut, plus a couple of shots of the group on stage. Affix photos to cardstock before adding a personal message for a truly thoughtful thank you that every ballerina will treasure.
