Tea party ideas work for all holidays. Let’s think about using tea party ideas to make a fun-filled Easter tea party for kids.

My ideas include inviting some of my daughters’ little friends and making the theme an Easter egg hunt. Living in a warm climate means that children can search outdoors for their eggs and treasures. If you live in a colder climate, host the Easter party hunt in a room like your family or game room. Coloring the eggs is something that my daughter and I can enjoy doing together. He likes to help the Easter bunny with his job of dyeing eggs. If you want to have a party like this, make sure you leave the eggs in a cool, safe place for the bunny to find when he stops by your house. Leave him a note mentioning the egg hunt and he’ll do the rest.

The bunny will no doubt find good places in your garden to hide the eggs, one here, a couple there in the grass or in a flower bed. If spring flowers aren’t blooming yet in your area, you may want to purchase some potted plants. Put one or two eggs between the leaves or put straw in the pots to hide the eggs. Place the eggs or other treats in the hollow of a tree or bush branch, under the seat cushions on your deck, or on a window sill. Let some of the prizes come out of hiding so the youngest have the best chance of success. Give each child a small basket to put their treasures in as a party favor to take home and enjoy. Make sure you have extra treats on hand in case some of the kids don’t have any luck finding the eggs.

Provide a tea that is both healthy and great tasting. Rooibos tea comes from the African red bush and is not a true tea. It has even more antioxidants (think health) than a real tea. Your young guests won’t know or care, but their mothers may not want their children to have caffeine, which is found in real tea. Personally, I have had the pleasure of drinking tea and iced teas since my childhood with no ill effects. You can decide to offer two teas, a rooibos and a real tea. Kids often like flavors like vanilla rooibos or blueberry black tea.

They’ll feel really grown up if you use little china tea sets and set their table with pretty plates and flowers as centerpieces. Thinking healthy again, you may want to offer nice snacks like carrot sticks and salsa or a variety of cheese cubes with crackers. Fresh fruit cut into smaller pieces for little hands is also a good idea. A tea party calls for tea party ideas for snacks. Most kids love peanut butter and jelly, but be sure to ask all moms if their kids are allergic to peanuts before adding them to your menu. Egg salad is always a good tea sandwich filling that is also healthy. Use an Easter egg shaped cookie cutter or after all the crusts are cut, cut the sandwiches into thirds.

After the Easter hunt and light tea meal, have the children participate in an activity. Bake cut-out sugar cookies with a cookie cutter before the party and have the kids decorate them with icing and sprinkles. This can be a bit tricky, so provide plastic aprons to cover the children’s clothing and supervise them closely. They may like a little help and you may need an extra adult or two to supervise. Your creations can serve as dessert. Make sure the kids wash their hands and faces before sending them home to mom.

Use tea party ideas to create memories for the little ones in your family.
