Having a spot o' tea to develop skills

If you’re looking for something a little different for your child to do today, try having a tea party! This is often something I forget about, but both my kids love it.

Tea parties can provide hours of fun, literally. I set my kids up at the table with their cups and teapot, give them a bit of water, and all I hear is giggling for the next two hours.

Every once in awhile I’m required to have a sip of the delicious tea.

It may get pretty messy, but if you just use water, it’s easy to wipe up. You can even plan ahead and lay down a few towels to soak up any spills.

The important thing is that playing “tea party” is a great way for kids to develop their fine-motor skills by pouring the water into the cups and back into the tea pot. I think that’s worth a little spilled water!
