montessori spring tea

my classroom's yearly spring tea is tomorrow, everyone is very very excited. i have been working on preparations for it for about a week and half and i am extremely happy everything will be wrapped up and ready to go tomorrow morning.

the final destination for my sculpey plant labels are featured below, i decided i love this idea! it makes for a more interesting party favor than just cut flowers.

we went pretty fancy this year and did place cards, menus and actual teacups and teapots - the children will love it (and so will the adults!)

spring tea gifts: inspired by hoboken

thanks to the wonderful blog say yes to hoboken - i got an idea for party favors for our upcoming Spring Tea at school. we normally do tiny bud vases with flowers in them, but since we couldn't find the bud vases, i thought it would be fun for the children to help make favors for their guests that come to the tea.

this project was very easy to do, i did although get a couple complaints that the letters were difficult to read, so i washed the names with thick green water color and it worked just fine. i prefer the white but i can see how the letters may be a bit too camouflaged for some.

these will be put into tiny plants in little drinking glasses and will serve as the party favor as well as the place cards. can't wait to show you the tables all set and ready to go!
