Teddy Bear Tea Party - Start the Tradition Now!

Teddy Bear Tea Party - Start the Tradition Now!


Children of all ages love stuffed teddy bears 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 believe 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 create this memory-filled event for your little one.
Obviously the two main elements must be accounted for... the tea and the teddy
bears. So let's look at both in just a little more detail.

1. The tea. Assuming you're planning your party for the younger of the young
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
some 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 some fine lovely
teas at various 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 table. 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
makers 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, where 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 their tea while enjoying their tea dainties. Finally,
remember 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 start of the school year or celebrate the
first day of spring. I bet you'll find that the tradition you start when your girls are
young will continue on into their teen years and beyond... and each year you can
guarantee 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 girls will have something wonderful to pass on to their daughters
along with the annual tradition!
