This cute and unique theme is perfect to bring out the joy and fun of being a child! Little one’s love holding a twirling pinwheel in their hand so why not base a celebration around this?
Pinwheels are also great to team up with another item for example balloons, ribbons or lollipops. They are also versatile little items which you could work into most party themes!
Given the uniqueness of this theme, there is not a lot of specific party items available however all you really need are some pinwheels to really bring this theme alive!
I haven’t included some of my usual categories of tableware and favour packaging in this post as this theme could take on any colour scheme and doesn’t have as many theme related items available – however please see my previous posts for many different tableware and favour packaging ideas!

Hope you enjoyed these pinwheels find and they give you some inspiration for this theme or incorporating them into a different theme. I am sure all the little ones will love them!
Twirling & tutu’s are some girl’s most favourite things – and if that sound’s like your daughter then perhaps this theme is perfect for her.
I’ve focused mainly around pink items in this blog post but pink goes with so many other colours so feel free to experiment and choose a colour scheme and combination your little girl would love!
I hope you find some inspiration and products in this blog post for your girl’s ballerina celebration.
Enjoy!
