Who wouldn’t want to explore this invitation to play? Children love aesthetics as much as we do. A play area should be clean, organized and inviting.
Welcome to the tea party. Using real items instead of store bought toys instills a sense of responsibility and trust. To create this set, I purchased tea cups at a thrift store along with a small tea pot and tray. I created cookies, pies and tea bags from felt. Teaspoons and a honey jar where also added to create this whimsical play experience.
This play activity was set outside on a beautiful fall day to add to the sensory experience. Real teabags were added to the kit so children could experience the scent of real tea. Did you know that by connecting a play experience to each of the 5 senses, it will make it more memorable and in turn create a stronger learning experience?
This activity is a great way to teach turn-taking, sharing and language, while developing motor skills.
