Tea Parties

                                       
Here are some ideas for tea parties:

Doll Tea Party: Use a shoe box, a stack of books, an upside down bowl, or a chair for a doll table. Decorate your doll table with a few paper doilies, or a piece of pretty fabric for a tablecloth. Use pillows for doll chairs. 

For doll-sized refreshments, put a small plate in the middle of the table and fill it with small chocolates or candy, berries, mini cupcakes, mini pretzels, mini cookies, or nuts. If you don't have a tiny tea set, you can make one with play dough or salt dough. My mom has a recipe for salt dough on her website. Click HERE for my mom's salt dough recipe. 

More suggestions for doll tea parties: Make tiny invitations and hand them out to friends, (make sure to remind them to bring their dolls!) ask everyone to dress up their dolls for the party, ( and themselves, too!) and make mini party favors for the dolls, like tiny bracelets, tiny stickers, tiny thank you cards, tiny colored rocks, or anything fun and tiny! (To make colored rocks, just paint rocks in bright colors.)  

Stuffed Animal Tea Party: For stuffed animal tea parties, just do everything you do for the doll tea parties, except for stuffed animals! 

Paper Doll Tea Party: Draw a tea set on paper and cut it out for your paper dolls. Then draw some refreshments, cut those out, and put the tea set and refreshments on the top of an old spool of thread or jar.
