A tea party is a great idea if your child’s birthday is approaching or if you just want to have a small get-together for them. Tea party ideas for children are becoming increasingly popular. They adore snacking on cookies and drinking sweet drinks while doing so. They also enjoy conversing and playing games with their friends.
That is why I have compiled a list of unique tea party ideas to delight your children (based on my daughter’s birthday). So read on to find out what you can do to keep your kids entertained during their vacations or holidays. Gather the ingredients, plan ahead of time, and surprise them with a fantastic surprise.
When you have a specific theme in mind, decorating a tea party setting gets slightly easier. However, if you want a basic but elegant party decorating, here are some fantastic ideas to get you started.
Tea Party Decoration Ideas
What will my child’s tiny buddies do if they don’t know which party they’ve arrived at? So, I hung a large banner over the venue entrance to let my little guests know whose party they had arrived for.
Cut-outs of letters or a large satin banner with the tea party’s name inscribed on it might be used as the banner. I make the banner more appealing by using sparkles to outline the letters.
I built a wonderful canopy with drapes and curtains because the party will be hosted outside. I set up a table underneath it with a variety of sweets. I also construct a few little tents in which the small children can converse or play activities.
My particular recommendation for anyone planning an interior party is to drape the ceiling with streamers and adorn the walls with spectacular wall hanging décor.
On each table, I set a little vase filled with paper or tissue flowers. I make an unusual shape out of the cloth towels and arrange them on the tables in front of each chair.
The children will have to open and wear the cotton napkins themselves. I use charming cartoon stickers behind the chairs to embellish them, or even a single balloon will suffice.
Because it’s a tea party, I’ll showcase a large teapot or a cup and saucer on the center table. This teapot might have a small tap where toddlers could drink fruit juice.
Alternatively, if you place a large cup and saucer on the table, you can use it to keep some fruit punch on hand to serve to the youngsters.
Menu suggestions for a tea party
The food for a children’s tea party should be delectable and engaging. From tea to finger appetizers, here are some menu suggestions for a children’s tea party.
Teacups
Isn’t tea necessary for a tea party? I don’t have to serve adult-style tea at a children’s tea party, so that’s a plus. Instead, I give them something they enjoy drinking, such as hot cocoa, a cold milkshake, or plain milk. If milk isn’t available, have lemonade, fruit punch, or cocktails on hand.
Sandwiches
Sandwiches are simple to make and popular with children. For a kids’ party, I avoid the usual sandwich filled with arugula or lettuce. Instead, I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or a turkey and cheese sandwich.
Add cheese slices to it if your little guests prefer cheese. Slice the harsh edges, shape them into small bite-sized pieces, or create different shapes to make it more appealing to children.
Mini Cakes
Without delectable cakes, a children’s party would be incomplete. Prepare some impressive little cakes for the youngsters so you don’t let them down. Cupcakes or small brownies can be used.
Before serving the cakes in colorful cupcake liners, I decorate them with cream and sprinkles. For your party, you may stick to a theme. For example, if the theme is Disney, your cupcakes can be shaped like a Disney character’s face.
Cookies
Because I’m offering milk, I’m also baking some cookies to accompany it. I play around with different cookie shapes, such as a teddy bear or Mickey Mouse.
If you want to try something safe and simple, go for chocolate chip cookies, which are quite popular with kids, or maple cookies.
Macarons
I set up a three-tiered stand in the middle of the table with various macarons that the kids can grab and eat whenever they like.
I put macarons on one level and other sweetmeats on the other two. If the party has a theme, the macarons can be colored to match the party’s color scheme. If not, try a variety of colored macarons.
Tea Party Game Ideas
Children are unable to sit at a table and converse for long periods of time. They require some form of amusement in order to avoid boredom. Here are some game suggestions from my child’s birthday bash.
Pyramid of Cup and Saucer
I provide plastic tea cups and saucers to the children. Toss a teacup pyramid their way. The game is won by the first person to complete a pyramid.
Cup Pairings
I make a design on a saucer for each child. Then I ask the youngster to find the cup that matches the saucer in a box or on a table full of cups. The first five children to finish the challenge will be awarded prizes.
Tea Party Favor Ideas
The party goodies you choose are largely determined by your financial constraints. You can always check for the theme-related takeaway tokens if you had a theme for the party. Consider the following suggestions for party favors. Pick one that is within your financial constraints.
Lovely Teapot
Colorful teapots packed with chocolates can be a pleasant surprise for your tiny guests. They can play with the teapot when they’ve finished eating the sweets. Tie a lovely bow on each teapot for a personalized touch.
Organic Soaps
Organic soaps in the shapes of a teapot, a teacup, a saucer, a cupcake, or other tea party decorations are available from various brands. These soaps are usually packaged in a clear bag. You can add ribbons to the bag and a personalized “thank you” card for your special visitors.
Colors And A Painting Book
Look for a dessert-painting book that includes outlines of cookies and muffins for kids to color. Include a tiny color box for them to use to paint the book. Wrap the presents and include a heartfelt “thank you” message.
