Do you have a young dancer in your life who pirouettes around the house all day? Are you looking for the perfect gift to make their ballet-loving heart leap with joy? Look no further! Here are some fabulous birthday and holiday gift ideas for kids who love ballet.

1. Inspiring Ballet Books

I highly recommend the Ella Bella Ballerina series. These gorgeously illustrated books by James Mayhew transport your child into the famous classical ballets. They are imaginative and humorous stories that your child will want to read again and again. Titles include Ella Bella & The Nutcracker, Ella Bella & Sleeping Beauty, Ella Bella & Swan Lake and Ella Bella & Cinderella.

Price Range: $15-23

3. Ballet Subscription Boxes

Looking for a unique gift that will make your dancer smile? Monthly ballet boxes from Butterfly Ballet Club make young ballet enthusiasts feel so special! Each box is based on a theme from a famous ballet. Your child will learn about the classic ballets and will love receiving a purple gift box in the mail each month. 

Price Range: $25/month to $65/month. Support our small business!

4. Ballerina Paper Dolls

Paper dolls are a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon. My personal favorites are the ballet paper dolls from WeHeartPaperDolls on Etsy. These dolls can be printed in color or black & white (to color). Hours of fun for your aspiring dancer!

Price: Only $3/download. Support this small business!

5. Ballet Coloring Books

Coloring books are a great gift for birthday parties, holiday gifts, or summer vacation. Add some colored pencils and your dancer will spend hours coloring tutus and scenes from the famous ballets.

With these fabulous gift ideas, you're sure to make any little ballerina's dreams come true. So go ahead, givel them with a gift that will make them dance with joy!

Grace & Joy,
