tea party

Imagination

  • Plan a tea party with old tea cups and saucers.
  • Provide kids with old shoes, hats and clothes to play “dress up”.
  • Help children decide on theme days.  Make food and activities related to the theme.  For example, on Pyjama Day, serve breakfast foods throughout the day, and on Zoo Day, create habitats for stuffed animals and learn more about them.
  • Collect teddy bears and stuffed animals for a teddy bear picnic.
  • On a rainy day, break out a deck of cards, and play a game of Crazy Eights or Go Fish.  Or let your children create a new card game.
  • Announce a talent show date and time.   Ask your children to prepare something for it.  Set up a stage curtain (could be an old sheet tacked up on a doorway) for their grand entrance.
