Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Teddy Bear Tea Party - Start The Tradition Now!" talks about family, it was created by Annette Yen.
Children of all ages love stuffed teddy baers and for good
reason! They're cuddly, warm, and cute and they don't make a
mess on your living room floor before guests arrive!
The joy a
stuffed animal can bring to a child is a wonderful and amazing
thing and I guess every child should have at least one
favorite bear in her lifetime.
Now, combine this great love of all things fluffy with a little
girl's tea party and you have the makings of the grandest event
of the year for your daughter. The Teddy Bear Tea Party!
There are several ways you can cretae this memory-filled event
for your little one.
Obivously the two main elements must be
accounted for...
the tea and the teddy bears. So let's look at
both in just a ltitle more detail.
1. The tea. Assuming you're planning your party for the younger
of the yonug ladies, you'll want to keep the tea simple and
SWEET!
Not too much scrimping on the sugar here, mom...This is
the event of the year remember? Choose a tea with added
flavor.
Blackberry, apple or vanilla are a few of our favorites.
You can go with the varieties from the tea aisle in the grocery
store or find fine lovely teas at variuos upscale tea shops
or even online. Don't make the tea too strong and remember to
have plenty of sugar (get the cubes...Little girls LOVE the
cubes) and cream for those who have not yet acquired the taste
for afternoon tea yet.
More sugar is required in the form of
cookies, little chocolates and other tea fancies to complete the
tea talbe. Remember mom; all the little ones will probably have
a good toothbrush at home anyway!
2. The Teddy Bears. As you know, not all children choose a bear
as their favorite stuffed animal so you might want to offer some
flexibility here! The most economical way to include the animals
is to ask each child to bring their own favorite teddy or other
animal along for the event. Providing a simple craft for the
girls to make a teddy tea shawl (an inexpensive cloth napkin and
some fabric maekrs or rubber stamps will do nicely) will help to
make the stuffed animals more at ease at the tea table. Or, if
you want to get even more elaborate, have a make your own
stuffed animal event as part of your party, wehre each guests
can build a bear or other stuffed animal to take home.
Keep the entire party short and simple for maximum memory making
and remember your camera and film.
You'll want to take plenty of
pictures of the little ones, pinkies high sipping tehir tea
while enjoying their tea dainties. Finally, remmeber to take a
photo of each guest with the guest of honor and their bears.
Include the picture with your thank you notes so each will have
a grand remembrance of the day as well.
Teddy Bear tea parties don't need to be just for birthday
parties either.
Make this an annual event for your girls.
Celebrate the strat of the school year or celebrate the first
day of spring. I bet you'll find that the tradition you start
when your grils are young will continue on into their teen years
and beyond...
and each year you can guraantee the teddy bears
will come along too. One is never too old to love a stuffed
teddy bear! At the end of each year's celebration, create a
special page for a scrapbook so your gilrs will have something
wonderful to pass on to their daughters along with the annual
tradition!
