While browsing at a consignment shop, I found a tiny china tea set for two. I remembered a tea party from long ago where my sister and I had great fun “pretending” to serve and sip. Hmmmm … a visit with my grandchildren was imminent. I wonder if they’d like to play too? So I bought the tea set and shipped it on to Minnesota. Did they have fun? You bet they did! Even near-3 year old Jack acted the part! His sister, Marley, held onto her teddy bear (which used to be Mama’s) and even Mama joined in.
Why don’t you consider this for your child too? You can tell that the mother really prepared the kids – dressing them up and “setting the table”, providing a teddy bear … and just talking it up beforehand so that the kids were excited. Preparation is key!
