What more could a little ballerina or danseur ask for at home, so that they won’t miss ballet class too much (or their ballet teachers and friends)? Well, a ballet barre of course!
Get your dance on! Just pop on your favourite tutu, put on your ballet shoes and you’re ready to twirl.
We’ll be sharing one of Miss Nicole’s favourite books when she was little and now, her daughter’s favourite book too, Possum Magic! βOnce upon a time, but not very long ago, deep in the Australian bush, there lived two possums. Their names were Hush and Grandma Poss. Grandma Poss made bush magicβ¦β I wonder what happens next!
With the Easter Bunny coming this weekend, now’s the perfect time to do some Easter craft. You can make these adorable sock bunnies with materials you probably already have at home. What a fun screen free activity for our preschoolers and older children.
Are you finding it hard to keep your lovely ballerinas and danseurs occupied during these difficult times? Well, why not go on a “teddy” bear hunt? Local communities around Sydney have embraced “teddy” bear hunting. All you need to do to participate is …

This very simple craft activity will bring a smile to your face! As the name suggests, this Rainbow Weaving Fish craft entails rainbow coloured paper being woven into and out of a fish design. It’s colourful and easy to do. My eldest child did this with only a little bit of assistance (very little ones may need help using scissors).
Miss Laura has come up with a fabulous idea (which she’s tested on her own children) using left over clear contact. This clever craft activity creates little mess, is extremely simple (even for young toddlers), is no fuss and is a great rainy day activity which you can complete from the comfort and security of your home.
Today, we’ll be sharing one of Miss Sarah’s favourite books with all of our marvellous ballerinas, Olga the Brolga! Olga the brolga is in aΒ terribleΒ mood. She desperately wants to dance — but no one will dance with her. Her parents have other things to do, Ellie the crocodile doesn’t feel like jumping around, and Joanna Jacana only wants to sleep. As for Lilly the long-neck, well, she’s a bit grumpy, too!
When I was young, I used to bake all of the time with my mum and my grandmother (and making the obligatory mess, of course!). The prize – yummy biscuits, scrumptious cakes and delicious treats!!! What I didn’t know at the time was that I was also learning valuable skills …
Popsicle stick ballerinas for our darling ballerinas. A great craft idea with little mess, but lots of fun. This is a fantastic screen free activity for our preschoolers and older children alike. Have fun and remember, you can use anything that you can find at home!

Itβs tough, when your kids are tiny, to leave them, even for a little while. Dance classes can start for kids at a very young age, sometimes as young as 3. Most parents arenβt keen to leave kids this size alone with anyone but a most trusted family member or carer. […]
Do you cringe when you see your child sitting in a W?Β Do you feel like saying βsweetie, can you please fix your legsβ? Does W-sitting cause long term effects? Should I be worried when I see my toddler/preschooler sitting in a W? Do your older children still W-sit? W-sitting is a sitting position in which children sit […]
Itβs 3.30pm and you walk in the door, kick of your shoes, make a cup of tea and a biscuit and flop on the lounge. The sun is shining on your face and you feel a huge sigh of relief. You could almost have a βDoctor Napβ. But … you have to rally the troops again who have dispersed into their rooms. The key to successfully transitioning in the afternoon from big school to ballet class is β DONβ T GO HOME!
Many parents find they feel bittersweet emotions when their child starts Kindergarten. It is the official βend of an eraβ. When your child starts βbig schoolβ there are so many things that are new. New school, new teacher, new friends and a new routine. It is critical for at least one thing to remain the same in their life […]
When it’s time for a concert performance or if you want your little one to feel and act like a ‘real’ ballerina, a ballet bun will put her in the mood, just like wearing her ballet shoes and a gorgeous tutu to class! We also love for all of our Primary Dance Academy students (Kindy and Year 1 students) to wear a ballet bun to each and every class. When you dress like a ballerina, you act like a ballerina! […]
Sara isnβt a dance mumβ¦ and thatβs what drew her to Tiny Toes Ballet. She loved the relaxed feel, the no-fuss concert and the nurturing approach of the teachers. βWhen Olivia, my eldest daughter, was two she showed an interest in dancing. I had a look around at a few ballet schools and got a good vibe from Tiny Toes Ballet. Now both of my girls dance with Tiny Toes Ballet and we havenβt looked back.β

Well, we wonβt deny thatβs a part of it, but dance also has a host of other benefits for a childβs physical, mental and social development. Here are six reasons why dance is so good for kids. […]
