So I may be cheating a little on this one, but I had the most wonderful treat this morning that I had to share! My four year old made me a breakfast tea party (with assistance from another helpful adult). She brought out her porcelain tea set, and decorated the table with flowers, candles (NOTE: she used the Valentine Candle holder made in a previous blog) and other little decorations. I got to "sleep in" while the preparations were being made. That in and of itself is an AMAZING treat for a single mom! It was a very simple project for her to put together with a little help, and she loved it!
She was very proud of herself.
What you need:
Whatever you have on hand for breakfast.
We had cut up fruit, simple Bisquik muffins with jam and butter, and of course, tea.
A Tea Set
Table Decorations
We also were able to practice manners - and the correct way to pour a cup of tea (with two fingers on the lid of the teapot). We tried to learn to drink tea with the pinkie extended, but the dexterity wasn't quite there for her yet.
And we also finished the breakfast with a "tea cookie" we made in the previous blog posting. A perfect morning!
