Poetry Tea Party

May 12, 2018 by Side By Side Learning 8 Comments

With the Royal Wedding being less than a week away we shall be donning our fancy hats, reading poetry and having a wee bit of tea in celebration.

Host Your Own Poetry Tea Party

When it comes to hosting a special party there are a couple of things that you need to remember.

Invites

First off you must invite your guests to your party. The invite often sets the tone of your event. You can write the details for your tea on them or use them to catch someone’s attention.

Below I have created an invite for you to use. You can print it off to be extra fancy or just save the image to your computer to use in an email, text, or even on facebook. I did not add a date to the invite so make sure you specify that when you invite your friends.

Party Decor

Decorations can be such a touchy subject. Many people think that you need to go big or don’t party at all. I don’t agree with that.

If you love to decorate, go for it. Buy fresh flowers, make a table center, color coordinate everything if you want.

Me, I’m not that Mom and that’s okay. Our set up will be a simple table cloth, one I currently own or a cheap one from the Dollar Store. I will buy cute napkins from said Dollar Store and set some cups on them. Simple, cheap and totally kid friendly.

Dress Code

If you know anything about Princesses you know that they have the most fabulous hats. Encourage your guests to bring their favorite hat. You could also make hats as part of your event if you wish. To really bring your characters to life you could try out your favorite accents for some extra fun, if you dare.

Appetizers

While you are sipping your tea it is nice to have a little something to snack on. Cut up some veggies, make mini sandwiches, open a box of crackers or have some desserts to offer your guests. You can even involve your little’s in preparing the snacks.

Poetry

To add to the discussion and create a different environment than other kid parties why not include poetry. We asked our guests to each bring a favorite poem but I also got my favorite poetry books out incase we need some more. I am expecting classic poetry, simple poems, some written by children and even some off the wall poems. Having a variety of poems will be tons of fun.

Multiple people bringing their favorites will introduce many different styles to the kids but it will also help us get to know our young friends. I’m hoping that we get some good laughs and enjoy the every single poem.

Help Your Child Host

Before your party guests arrive make sure to talk to your princess about the upcoming party. What you expect out of her and how princesses ought to act. Stay tuned on the blog for a printable of “Little Princess Rules.” Have her welcome each guest politely and help them get situated. Encourage her to be on her best behavior.

Remember that guests will be bringing their favorite poems but don’t forget to help your little’s choose some of their favorites to share aswell. It will make the reading poetry even more pleasant.

Have a wonderful party with your princesses and princes!

    This is an adorable idea! (sorry I don’t know why this is all in caps?!) I would love to do this with my toddler and her friends, Shel Silverstein is my favorite kids poetry, and we’ve found some good poetry like books at the library too!

      Silverstein has some amazing work! Great choice. Pull out some of his work, some cups and apple juice and away you go. Your toddler and friends are sure to have a blast.

    I did something very similar for my daughter’s birthday years ago. What a fun way to tie it in to the Royal Wedding. The kids eat this sort of thing up!

I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I' I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I've got the basics and a million more questions. 

I'm not going to attempt to teach you about what is going on currently. I'm here to tell you that there is time to learn and grow in understanding.

As a homeschool mom, I've had a magnifying lens on what I don't completely understand. I could pretend to know answers, skip the hard topics or I could join the lessons. 

Today I choose to join my kids and learn about the Soviet Union. After discussions with a friend I realized that it was a hole in my own education and it was stopping me from understanding current events.

We have a long ways to go but I understand more. I count that as a win.

How are you adding Ukraine into your life this week?
Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blow Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blowing. I am in awe of this little girl that walked passed groups of angry people and managed to focus on her studies.

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne F Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne Frank were born in the same year?

These two faced discrimination based on their color and religion. They were treated as second class citizen's and both changed the world with their words. Reading about their similarities and the struggles they faced was eye opening and a great way to discuss how we are not alone in our trials.

"No one could kill the way Martin inspired others. Just as Anne's words will never die."

How do you teach your kids to do what is right even if the law tells them to behave otherwise?
