Ballerina Mouse in a Suitcase

Ballerina Mouse in a suitcase by Moulin Roty. This is one of the most iconic soft toys set – my little ballet wardrobe. She comes in a wardrobe suitcase complete with 3 ballet tutus in pink, blue and white.  Ballerina mouse lives, dances and travels in her own cardboard suitcase. It doubles up as a wardrobe and dance studio, complete with a mirror. Inside there is also a clothing rail, hangers, outfits. Lined with beautiful star paper inside.

This set makes a beautiful gift that will be cherished for years!

Here are some fun ballet facts for you and your little ones:

• A professional ballerina’s tutu skirt takes about 90 hours to make – that’s almost 4 days!
• When ballet first started the ballet dancers were all men
• Pointe shoes have to be made by hand and ballerinas go through 2-3 pairs every week
• Ballet was initially performed with opera and only later was recognised as a performance of its own
