Supplies You Will Need

KidsinPartyClothesHavingTe

Planning to have a kids tea party? There are all kinds of options out there, from fancy dress parties to themed ones.

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

Supplies

  • There are some basic supplies you'll need for your child's party. Plastic tea sets may be the more practical approach.

    If the children are older then nice "'real" 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

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. Have towels or napkins ready to handle any spills that might occur during your party.

Food and Drinks

  • 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 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 events can include little cakes (for a birthday), decorated cookies and more.

  • 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.

So why not consider having a tea party for a special event, a holiday or even a birthday?

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