Tea Parties for Children





Is there anything more exciting than having a tea party for little children? Over the years we have had so many parties for teddy bears, dolls, friends and puppies. This photo of my daughters Sarah and Ashley was their first of many tea parties to follow over the years. I found this glorious web site that has all kinds of wonderful ideas for tea parties for children. On the Tea Parties for Children site there are party themes, menus, and things to do.

One year for my daughter's birthday party I bought enough straw hats for each little guest and had so much fun decorating them to look like hats that ladies would wear to a proper tea. We had toy tea sets on the table and each child had their own miniature birthday cake with a candle, so that they each had a birthday wish. If you want a real treat, I recently discovered an adorable place on the internet to teach you how to have a royal tea party for young children.


My favorite tea for children is the Teddy Bear tea of course. Not only is the idea so enchanting for the little ones, but it fills our hearts with child-like wonder as well. Needless to say, I await the day I am a grandmother and I can begin my adventures again with teddy bear tea parties. Ashley still loves cucumber sandwiches, here is a recipe I found for wonderful tiny teatime sandwiches.

The music for this post is The Teddy Bear Picnic of course!

There's nothing cuter than a bunch of little girls having a tea party! My daughter went to a few American Girl Tea Parties when she was younger.

I went to New York City at Christmas with my sister and we saw the American Girl Store. I saw so many little girls with their dolls on the way there, probably for tea.

I just found your beautiful blog, and smiled at your tea parties for children post. We've been having tea parties "with the Pooh friends" since our kids could sit up. This year I had the party I've been dreaming of for years for my daughter's sixth birthday (photos at http://flickr.com/photos/7148565@N04/sets/72157600457489471/). Blessings to you!
