Make a Tea Cup/Tea Bag |
Asian Invitation | Fan Invite |
|
Craft your own teacup w/teabag invitation. Supplies - Pink paper (card stock) White paper Kite string Marker Glue Decorative bead (optional)
Create a teacup template (use mine below or make your own), between 4 and 5 inches big. Fold pink card stock in half. Trace teacup pattern with bottom of cup on fold onto pink cardstock. Cut out teacup. You can leave the handle uncut in the middle and draw in the handle. Glue all open sides leaving a 2 inch opening at the top of the tea cup. Now cut small 2x2" squares on white paper which will be your teabag. Make sure the squares will fit in the opening you left on the top of the tea cup. Write all party information on front (use backside if necessary). Cut a 4 inch piece of kite string, tape to the back of white square. Stick the square in the tea cup leaving the string hanging out. You can add a decorative bead to the end of the bag. Your guest will pull the teabag string to read all about your fun party.

Opening Party Craft |
Manners Session |
Sing Along |
|
Start your party with an opening Craft Activity:
|
Manner sessions - spend a few minutes with the girls at the tea table explaining how to hold a tea cup, if using a spoon for adding sugar, you only dip once into the sugar bowl, stir gently and lay spoon on saucer. Also, teach them how to ask for items and how to pass them around the table. Don't forget to add the "Darling, please pass the sugar" to the session.
Children's Tea and Etiquette:
Brewing Good Manners in Young Minds |
I'm A Little Teapot (Music copyright 1939 Kelman Music)
I'm a little teapot short and stout; (stick your tummy out and pretend you are very short)
Here is my handle (place your hand on your hip, so your arm is a handle)
And here is my spout. (Bend your other arm and hand like a spout)
When I get all steamed up, then I shout: Just tip me over and pour me out! (Bend over and pretend you are pouring out your tea!) |
