A Kids Tea Party

You might think of a kids tea party as being a game that's played with dolls and stuffed animals, but it can be a lot more.

Consider having a tea party for a special event, a holiday, a seasonal party, or even a birthday tea party.

It can be a lot of fun, especially if you include the right decorations and tea themed invites.

Let's take a look at some of the things you're likely to need.

Kids Tea Party Supplies

• There are some basic supplies you'll need for your child's party.

  Plastic tea sets may be the more practical approach for your party. If the children are older then nice "'real" tea cups can be used.

  If you go this route you might want to look into second hand china or other inexpensive sources.

  This will add a touch of elegance to your child's tea party. A few special table ornaments will help add to the mood. Keep them in with the theme.

• You may also want to add dress up clothes. Children love to put on fun new clothes. They often enjoy dressing up for a tea party.

Second hand and discount stores can offer a variety of fun fake jewelry, hats, and all kinds of other options. You can also invite the children to come in costume or formal clothing.

Activities For A Kids Tea Party

• Your party should be about more than just tea. Add a few activities to keep your kids from getting bored sitting around the table.
  
  Try games and songs with a teapot theme, crafts or a fashion show. Of course, be ready to handle any spills that might occur during your party.

Food

• You can't have a tea party without the tea. What you serve will vary by the occasion.

  If you're having a fancy or fake fancy tea party, think about serving traditional English tea items.

  Small delicate sandwiches and cakes can be a great choice. Make sure you have the proper utensils.

  Try to keep the food easy for the kids to handle and to eat.

  More casual parties can include little cakes (for a birthday), decorated cookies and more.

Drinks

• When it comes to the tea, there are many options. Herb and fruit teas are popular with parents who are worried about caffeine. Then there are decaffeinated types.

  Have a few choices on hand, as well as a few non-tea drinks such as hot cocoa and juice.

  Serve tea hot, cold, with or without sweetener, and with or without milk.

  The kids will probably like the extras, like sugar cubes and lemon. I love those small sugar cubes.
