I had this thought in my head for a while, on holding a High Tea for MissC. Since her Godmother Panda stayed with us (visiting from the UK) she has loved the ‘art of drinking tea’ although she doesn’t drink tea, she will have warm milk in a mug and call it Tea.
With a playdate arranged with one of our closest friends, I decided to bring over my latest find – a melamine High Tea platter for children.
The children were so excited all morning! As soon as i brought out the platter, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas!!
Dressed in their party dresses and hairclips from , the girls were all ready for their High Tea – complete with teacups and a (fake) teapot.
MissC is on the left with her dark curly hair!
On the menu today:
Peanut Butter Star Sandwiches, Sausage Rolls and Party Pies.
Cupcakes, Lamington Square, Sponge Roll.
Strawberries, Kiwi Fruit and Watermelon.
MissC was licking her lips ready to eat all the goodies that was on display!!
The girls thoroughly enjoyed their high tea. Pouring a cup of tea each and diving into the cupcakes first (as all little girls would do)!
Something MissC talked about all the way home, and when Daddy came home from work, it was all she could tell him! High Tea with cake!
Will we be doing this again? Absolutely!!
It was a beautiful way to see the girls interact with their food.
I have more thoughts on how to host a “Bento” High Tea (and what to serve there) – so keep your eyes out for the next installment!!
Are you a friend of my new ?
Linking up today’s post with Grace from for Flog Your Blog Friday!
Make sure you pop over and say hi!! And don’t forget to leave some commenting love!
This is gorgeous! my girls love tea (I give them very milky de-caf, what can I say, they take after their mother!) and they’ve started playing tea with a tea set together so something like this would be great. Thanks for the inspiration. Love what you’re doing with your new blog xx
shh I won’t tell anyone about their tea habit!! Definitely worth doing! It was so much fun making it and seeing their faces when it came out!!
I love this! Absolutely going to add to the list and what a great party theme for a little girl. I am a first time visitor from FYBF and so excited to have discovered your blog.
Thanks for popping by!! Yes it was amazing.. you could serve anything on the platter and they would gobble it up!!
Just a different way of serving Lunch
Love it. Lots of love Panda! x

What a fantastic idea! That looks amazing. Look how excited they are!!
Thankyou! They definitely were over the moon!
They look like they are enjoying the experience!!! I love high teas, and recently purchased my nearly 1 year old a tea set for his birthday present, so we can have some…. It’s red with white polka dots and I can’t wait to christen it!
oooo red with white polka dots sounds great!! Was it melamine or is it china??
My mum has a china tea set that she said she is waiting for MissC to be old enough to use with her!
This is SUCH a cute idea. I’m going to do this for my Mr3, he would absolutely love it.
Let me know how you get on!!
That looks like so much fun
I think those kind of events are really important for children too – they give them a special experience as well as the ‘social skills’ associated.
it really did make their eyes light up and they chattered and shared tea!
A fabulous idea Yvette.
My boys would just gobble down the goodies and not appreciate the effort i think.
You have given me an idea for my hubby’s birthday – a high tea for him & me
Yes the girls were very excited all day talking about what delights on the platter they will get!
High Tea for hubby and you sounds perfect!!
That is so gorgeous!
Such a great idea. A little mini high tea, they can feel like little mini adults.
Gorgeous! It would turn any old playdate into a real event.
What a lovely idea. My 5 yo will be off to school next year, and maybe we can do one for her and her new friends as a bit of bonding/fun. Thanks for the inspiration. Where did you get the cake stand by the way?
Drew loved her ‘party’ with miss C….. she pretty much loves anything to do with cake and getting dressed up
such a girly girl x
ofcourse she did!! She was playing with MissC
We loved it too!
What a brilliant idea – we do lots of tea parties but I love the idea of taking the food to the next level.
I found you via FYBF : )
Thank you
It definitely has been a hit in our household!
How sweet! I love that you made a ordinary playmate into something special x
Thank you
That is just adorable! What a clever idea, what girl wouldn’t love this? Kinda makes me wish I had a girl!

Dinosaur or Automobile High Tea for boys!!
I tried replying to this this morning on my phone and it wouldn’t work. BUT I LOVE this idea. Especially for a birthday party. You have me thinking now for my older kids birthday party on what to do. where did you get that tier its awesome.
I found this one on ebay – because I wanted melamine not china!
I’ve got to get a tea set for my daughter – I reckon she’d love to have high tea too!
its a definite she’ll love it!
Yvette! It looks delicious and your daughter look so happy!
she hasn’t stopped talking about it!! She wants another one next week!!
You’re the master! That’s brilliant.
you are too kind
Oh, Yvette!! What a fabulous idea! You know my boys love the whole tea set thing (I think it’s from Dorothy the Dinosaur’s rose tea) so I might try this out. Who said high tea’s only for girls ??
Love your work! x
Thank you!! High Tea is for everyone!!! Dinosaur Sandwiches perhaps for boys? Or Automobile High Tea
so sweet! I love having tea parties with my kids.. we did something similar last year for my daughter birthday
