I 100% agree. Kids’ metabolisms are so fast, so I always have snacks on hand. If the theater allows food, definitely bring snacks to help keep them occupied!

However, I think that if it’s allowed, this will help them enjoy the ballet more. Maybe I should buy some tickets for them so that they’ll get the idea that ballet is great.

I sure hope it’ll help your sister decide when to take her kids. Of course it depends on each child and their temperament, but I usually err on giving it a try if you’re on the fence. The worst that’ll happen is you have to leave.

I’ll share this with her, thank you! It’s such a magical holiday experience.

It’s definitely a balance of helping the kids stay engaged and respectful but also understanding they’re kids and sometimes their little bodies just aren’t ready to act like adults yet.

Definitely: It helps them know what’s going on, since they;re used to words in their stories.

Oh that’s such a sweet memory with your grandma. We took my grandma to the Nutcracker last year but unfortunately it’d be too much for her now. Glad this post could spark a sweet memory.

Especially the going to the matinee. One of my most favorite memories as a kid is going to the Nutcracker and some other ballets with my grandma 🙂 it was always such a treat and I felt like such a big kid.

I think knowing the story beforehand must be so helpful, to keep them engaged! I saw it a few times as a kid, not every year, and definitely have fond memories!
