I think tea sets might be a part of everyone’s childhood. Do you remember hours spent having tea parties with your parents, your teddies and dolls, your siblings and your little friends from school or kindy? I know I do.
There are a fabulous range of tea sets on the market these days, from the vintage, to the ultra modern. Or if you are more of a coffee fan, then there are some brilliant ultra-modern coffee sets for the budding barista in your midst.
Tea and coffee role play is great for kids (not just girls!) in so many ways. It improves fine motor skills, encourages imaginative play and provides beautiful opportunies for interaction between kids and their parents or siblings. It’s also great for teaching kids about sharing and taking turns – and just you wait til you hear your daughter or son admonishing their teddybear for not waiting his turn for the tea!
