4 A New Brew of Fun SIP, PRETEND, AND PLAY
Creative Ideas for an Unforgettable Tea Party
For many young American girls, nothing is more magical than a tea party. It doesn’t matter if the brew is real or if all of the attendees are stuffed animals made of fluff; tea parties offer an opportunity to invoke your imagination and enjoy peaceful, polite moments with your little ones. These are memories you and your kids will look back on fondly for years to come. Not all tea parties are made equal, however. If you really want to amaze and excite your kids, consider adding some special elements to the fun. Here are three ideas to help you get started. Pick a theme. When you think of traditional tea parties, you likely envision dresses and tiaras, but these sip-worthy soirees can involve just about any theme. You can base it on
your children’s favorite movies. Whether you focus on a film that has a tea party scene like “Alice in Wonderland” or choose something more abstract, like “The Lion King” or “The Little Mermaid,” is entirely up to you. You could even choose a specific period of history and emulate their tea parties. The options are endless! Dress the part. After you decide on a theme, you need to find ways to bring it to life. One of the easiest solutions is to play dress up. If your theme is based on a movie, dress as a character or include stuffed animals from the film. And don’t just stop at the outfit. Use teacups and saucers that resemble those from the movie or time period you’re mimicking. The way you speak and the topics at hand should also match the overall concept.
Make it fun for everyone. Not everyone gets excited at the prospect of a tea party. They may worry that it’s too girly or that they’ll get bored. For the doubters, let them decide on a theme and be sure to include snacks or drinks they enjoy. If they are truly adamant about not wanting to participate, do not force them. Their sour attitude will take away from everyone else’s enjoyment.
