How to set up the tea party for your kids?
The first thing you should do is determine what you are going to eat. This could be something simple like sandwiches or maybe even some cookies! In addition to this, you should determine what beverages you are going to have. If your child will enjoy tea, make that so you can stick with the theme. You could prepare iced tea, green tea, water, juice or a variety of other drinks. Once you have prepared the food and drinks, put them into serving dishes.
Put down the table cover over your table before putting out everything. Not only is this going to save you from having to clean up, it can save your table from being damaged! Kids are likely to spill and plastic covers don’t cost that much, so it’s an affordable accessory. From here, put out the plastic plates and the plastic tea cups. The food and drinks can go in the middle of the table where everyone can reach.
Then you can start with decorating using the balloons, streamers and whatever else you have to decorate with. This can be a lot of fun since there are so many different styles you can go with! Let your child help, they will likely enjoy hanging up streamers and being involved with the decoration process. Don’t worry about everything being perfect, just have fun with it.
Once everything has been set up, it will be time for the party to begin. Tell the kids to get dressed up in whatever they want to. This will make them feel grown up and give them an experience that is more exciting. You can also decorate the table with some hard candies or sweets that they like, all children will enjoy this! After they are dressed you can get started with the party and let them use their imaginations for the rest of the afternoon.
The supplies are very important, so don’t forget these. Don’t skip the tea cups or plates for regular plates and cups; they don’t offer the same feel. You don’t have to spend a lot on the supplies for the party to be a lot of fun. They will also look great on the table, especially in fun colors.
