If you’ve ever popped by my instagram feed you know that my girls are OBSESSED with being ballerinas. It’s really my 3 and a half year old and then it trickles down to my 2 year old. Regardless of who is leading who, these little girls love to be ballerinas, wear tutus and dance their little hearts out. It’s kind of the best. I don’t know what I’d do if I had two boys obsessed with trucks or something. Ballet is something I can totally get into too and I do. I’m a sucker for little ballerina gifts and have bought way too many tutus over the years. I figure, if nothing else, I can pass on my ballerina knowledge to you. Here are my best pics for must have gifts for little ballerinas.

My daughters and I have indulged in countless viewings of both “The Nutcracker” and “Swan Lake”. They have developed a deep affection for these ballets, and I am thrilled that they are being introduced to such mesmerizing music that ignites their spirits. In our living room, we have fashioned a dance stage where we unleash these magnificent symphonies, and my girls unleash their boundless energy. Gigi had the pleasure of attending a performance of “The Nutcracker” last year, and I am ecstatic to announce that we have secured tickets once again for this year’s show. The anticipation is overwhelming!

4. Ballet-inspired Purse – My daughters adore their ballet-inspired purses so much that they’re worn-out and tattered from constant use. These purses accompany them everywhere, effortlessly slung over their shoulders like fashionable messengers, and my heart just melts every time.

In the interim, the exquisite decals serve as a delightful substitute.
9. Ballerina Books – Here are a few we love
Angelina Ballerina.
Olivia, the ballet
Ella Bella Ballerina and Swan Lake.
10. A Enchanting Ballet Jewelry Box or Melody Chest – Both my daughters go absolutely crazy for their mesmerizing ballet-inspired jewelry and music box. We possess the delightful music box and they simply adore it, with an overwhelming amount of affection. They fill it with all sorts of fascinating trinkets, not just limited to jewelry. Just the other day, to my surprise, I stumbled upon D’s pacifier collection nestled inside her treasure box. Oh, what a delightful and amusing discovery it was!
These next four things we don’t have but I am highly considering getting at least one of them. I think they’d all be a pretty big hit for any little ballerina, don’t you?
