Enchantmints Music Box Ballet School

It is a children's music box from Enchantmints. When you open the lid, a ballerina figure twirls to the tune of Swan Lake. The box is illustrated with ballet scenes in pink watercolours and offers a place to store tiny treasures for years to come.

It works as a musical jewellery box because it has four secret drawers and a main space for keeping precious possessions, jewellery and secret treasures. A hinged top opens to reveal a mirror, so children can store and admire their keepsakes while the ballerina turns to the music.

The Ballet School box plays Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. The ballerina figure circles in time with the melody as it plays, so opening the lid becomes a small moment of dance and music each time a child reaches for their treasures.

You wind the box using the key at the back, and then the ballerina twirls to the music. Teach your child to wind with care and not to crank too hard, since overwinding can damage the musical movement inside and stop the music from playing.

The box measures 20 x 11.5 x 15 cm. It is handmade from MDF, laminated with printed paper graphics, and lined with flocked paper that feels like velvet. The pink ballet illustrations and soft interior are meant to be cherished for many years.

Enchantmints lists the box for ages 3 and up, and notes it also appeals to older children and adults aged 6 and over. Younger children may need a grown-up to help wind the key gently so the musical movement is not damaged.

Both boxes feature a ballerina turning to Swan Lake, but the Ballet School box is larger at 20 x 11.5 x 15 cm and carries ballet-school themed illustrations. Both belong to the Enchantmints collection of themed treasure boxes made with a mirror, drawers and velvety flocked paper.
