Our first Tutu Making Workshop was such a success, we are doing another one on April 28th! (See flyer below for details. And if you can’t make this one, you can order a Tutu Kit directly from me: jeanne@bellissimakids.com) And I am thrilled to team up with the great people at a place we have loved since it opened when Oona was only one year old: City Treehouse in Chelsea! The main attraction is their unique water play area – Oona has just adored playing in this space as she, like all kids, just loves water…and I have found it the best place to be on a hot summer day. Their super fun treehouse with slide and fiber optic cave have also kept her busy many an hour. Apart from that, they offer a smorgasbord of fantastic art, dance, music and language classes and they also host birthday parties. In fact, Oona had her very first painting class here. Sweet memories…

The first Bellissima Tutu workshop at Books of Wonder was a great success! The kids had lots of fun, really stuck with the process and made their beautiful tutus..and then they had a ball dancing around in them because that’s what tutus are for, right?! Some of them escaped before we could take their photo and the little boy holding the tutu in the photos told me to make it very clear that he was making that for his sister and not for himself. So, consider yourselves told! I will keep you updated on the next workshop.

And if your little angel missed this (and will miss them all because you live far away) and you would like to have a Bellissima Kids Tutu Making Kit, I am offering you the opportunity to purchase them right from this site! Just email me at:  jeanne@bellissimakids.com if you would like to order one. That’s a close-up of what they look like in the photo above. All materials and full instructions for this “no-sew” tutu are included as well as a Bkids tote bag!

Big news! I have teamed with the wonderful Books of Wonder bookstore to present my very first Tutu Workshop and because it’s the very first, it will be completely free of charge! In this workshop, your little sweethearts will make and customize their very own “no-sew”  tutus with ribbons, flair and sparkle…as the flyer says. So, if you are in New York and (or will be on that date) and your little one is interested, make sure you RSVP soon as spaces are very limited. Hope to see you there!
