Here’s a beautiful winter birthday party idea for kids that we came across on flickr.com and just loved. Glorious Treats, a flickr.com member whose real name is Glory Albin, is a baker and stay-at-home mom who has amazing design talent. She planned a 4th birthday party for her friend’s daughter.

Along with her gorgeous photos on flickr.com, she describes the pretty party in great detail. Here’s what she did to plan this winter kids’ birthday party:

Theme and décor: After Glory and her friend chose a “Snowflake Ballerina” theme for the birthday party, she went to work on creating a magical atmosphere for little girls. She created a whimsical hanging centerpiece for the party table (pictured above).

To create the focal point, she built a large rectangular frame from which she hung pink and blue ribbons, ballerinas, and snowflakes. “I attached it to the ceiling with Command adhesive hooks (removable sticky backed hooks),” says Glory. Next, she began to hang her decorations. She adorned the dining chairs with bows and sparkly, sheer pink “ballerina skirts” (actually, aprons handmade by a friend). These pretty aprons doubled as party favors for the girls.

Fabulous desserts and party activities: Even the desserts were pretty. For the cupcakes, Glory created special snowflake ballerina cupcake toppers for each girl and used royal icing “snowflakes” for the cupcakes. She also baked snowflake shaped cookies for the girls to decorate the day of the party, which served as a party activity.

Finally, the theme was carried through with the main party activity–a special ballet lesson provided by the birthday girl’s ballet teacher.
