Any ideas for a little girls tea party?

Question

I am making the cake myself, but I am not sure what to do about decorations or snacks.

Answer 1

I helped a friend with a Princess tea party recently and the biggest hit was when the kids made marzipan mice.

She got the recipe here
http://skandland.com/xmmarzipan.htm
Bought the marzipan at the bulk food store and kept it the plain color to save time but it looks great mixed with food color too. The page shows christmas marzipan, but you can shape it into anything. Just make sure to wash hands well before the girls start making their edible creations :)


A really great site for kid friendly recipes is at the San Diego Zoo website: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/kids/recipes.html

I've tried a bunch of them with my son and they're easy and very good.

Here's an example:
Ingredients
1 large banana

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon peanut butter–creamy is the easiest to spread

Crackers–your favorites

Peel the banana and put it in a small bowl. Add the honey and peanut butter and, using the back side of a spoon, mash the ingredients together until they make a creamy soup. Serve with crackers for dipping!

If you theme, the zoo is a great idea since princess has been done so much recently. If you use the zoo recipes, the girls can bring their fave stuffed animal. Animal decorations are easy to find at either the party or dollar store.
If you provide instant cameras, the girls can go on a photo safari... the pictures the kids take are always more "real" than any others :)

Go buy some tea cookies at the local grocery store.They come in really pretty colors. I would also suggest buying decaf tea if you think they may drink a ton of it..Also, find some cute little dresses for the girls to wear---buy some of those cheap fake jewelry kits for party favors. Buy little squares of foam and put a few fake flowers in them. Then, get some cute little squares of paper and put them in the flowers for place cards. Anything you think may help cater to their imagination and social development is also a good idea to include.

Use a china tea pot, and china cups , and use a coloured sheet over which you will positioned some nylon netting (which you additionally could make into tub poufs or vegie scrubbers after) ... make finger sandwiches via basically slicing the crust off typical white bread and 'rolling each and each piece after putting some 'comfortable' filling on it ... and serve 'princess cup-cakes' with a small doll interior the path of all and sundry, yet additionally make a outstanding 'internet' skrt with some appropriate colored fabric below, so the girls could have something to 'undergo in strategies their princess tea party' afterwards. the finished value would desire to be below ten money, however the thoughts will final an entire life!
