Running out of ideas for March Break Activities? Is your dancer getting restless and missing the studio?
We’ve got you covered with some dance inspired craft ideas!
Paper Roll Ballerina’s
This paper roll princess tutorial is great for creating your paper roll ballerina! The tulle creates perfect little tutus
Ballerina Book Marks
This is a cute idea if your artsy dancer is also a reader! Probably best for an older dancer though! This tutorial recommends it for dancers 8+
Bobble Head Dancing Dolls
These are a fun idea because they can be used for more fun play once they are made!
Pipe Cleaner Dancers
Get a little science-y and demonstrate muscles and bones and joints! Using Pipe cleaners as your base, cut some straws to represent your arm bones and your leg bones and use beads at the joints! You can even add a mini cupcake liner around the waist as a tutu! Now your dancer can bend and play with their little dolls and practice their dance terms!
Ballerina in a Pretty Puffy Dress
This is a pretty simple one that can make your little dancer so thrilled to see completed. Print out their favourite dancer colouring page and using some tissue squares and glue make the cutest skirts!
Hand Print Tutus
Get in some sensory play by printing out a dancer leotard or use a piece of patterned paper to create your own. Then have your little dip their hands in some washable paint and make a cute little tutu!
