At some point in their lives, every little girl dreams of becoming a ballerina. And so my daughter's fourth birthday party theme was ballet.
We did our first activity. Edible ballerinas: I prepared a separate pack for each child containing the following: 
1x Jolly Jammer Biscuit (a face), 1x chocolate whisper (a hair bun), 1x rectangular strawberry wafer biscuit (leotard body), 2x mini white chocolate sticks (arm), 2x strawberry finger biscuits iced with pink icing on one side to look like ballet shoes (the legs), 1x strawberry whirl jelly (a rose), 2x twisty corn chips (ringlets), a cardboard backing, and a knife. A bowl of chocolate icing was placed on each table. The children then went about building a ballerina on the backing card, pasting the different body parts into position with the icing. 
While everyone was finishing off their ballerinas, we handed out the party packs.Each party pack was made using the bottom half of a plastic 2 litre Coke bottle. I placed a pink doily around the top part and fastened it with a pink satin ribbon. I punched a hole on either side and fastened the ends of a silver pipe cleaner through each hole to form a handle. I fastened a pink rose to the silver pipe-cleaner. I tried to find only pink sweets to fill the party packs with. I made ballet slipper butter biscuits and fastened two of these with pink satin ribbons to the side of each party pack.
The birthday cake was square with two ballet slippers (made using small loaf pans) on top. I made a cupcake for each child with a plastic ballerina figurine placed on top. I was lucky enough to find candles that looked like pink ballet shoes. Jessica - DURBANVILLE
