Hosting a baby shower for a mom-to-be of a little girl can be a lot of fun and so you should take advantage of that. Little girls frequently love teddy bears as well as dream of being ballerinas, so why not mix the two and host a Ballerina Bear baby shower for the little girl on the way?

Decorations
A Ballerina Bear baby shower is really easy to decorate for. Simply buy decorations with the Ballerina Bear imprinted on them. You can easily find plates, napkins, tablecloths, banners, and even balloons imprinted with the Ballerina Bear. In addition to this, you can buy some nice Ballerina Bears to use as centerpieces or to decorate other areas of the baby shower location. Potted plants and fresh flowers with pink ribbons will also make nice decorations.

A cake decorated like a ballerina bear will set off the refreshment table and everyone will enjoy having a slice. Other refreshments can be provided as you see fit.

Games
A Ballerina Bear baby shower can be a lot of fun with the baby shower games. Simply buy a couple tutus and a CD of ballet type music. All of your guests will probably be wondering what type of game they will be engaging in. Simply pass out a sheet of paper printed with several ballet moves. Then, have each attendee put on the tutu and have each individual perform the ballet moves. A round of applause will determine the winner whose prize is one of the ballerina bears used for the centerpiece.

A baby shower may be planned at any time of the year and if you are planning a baby shower for March or April then perhaps an Easter shower would go over well and could be themed on Easter Eggs! At this time of year there are plenty of decorations available, especially at the dollar store, so hosting an Easter Egg baby shower will not only be easy, but also affordable.
