Whether it’s your un-birthday or just after school, it’s always a good time for tea. Celebrate Mad Hatter Day any day and gather round your lovies, machines, snakes and dolls. All are welcome at an ad-hoc tea party fit for a king (or a tractor). Read on for some easy inspiration.
You will need:
A table, or you can make it a picnic tea party on the floor.
A tablecloth.
Tea cups, preferably assorted and mismatched.
A tea pot.
Snacks. We like fresh fruit and few treats for after school, but you can honestly serve anything.
Attendees. (Let your child select the attendees.)
A hat.
Step One: Gather your items. Remember, the key here is to use what you have. If your child has a tea set, great, but coffee cups work just as well. No tea? Use water. Somehow, it tastes more spectacular out of a tea cup.
Step Five: Don your hat and enjoy!
Does your child love tea parties? Tell us about a memorable one in the comments below!
