Little House Tea Party

Last school year, we read through the Little House series and had a blast. As a final end-of-the-year project, we had a tea party. I thought I would share the photos as I don't think they made it to the blog.

J loves her playhouse. She sweeps regularly and washes the dishes for her house. I love seeing her play in her costume.

The house in this picture is just about done. It is missing the railing and the half door that my DH made.  He was finishing up the metal roof.

Here is a view of our party table. J made aprons for each guest and their party gift was a metal lunch tin filled with stick candy, a jar for their butter, and rock candy. I truly wanted to put jacks in them but when you are looking for something, you just can't seem to find it.

She showcased her hard work throughout the year. She made a quilt, a rag doll, a prairie costume for her American Girl doll, a popsicle log house, teepee, curtains for the little playhouse, and a weaved rug (of sorts). Those were just a few of her school projects.

We had several crafts for each girl to do as well as make butter. One of the crafts was this cute rag doll made of fabric scraps. I was worried the girls wouldn't like these but they were the hit of the party. Some girls drew faces, others played with their "babies." The party was a lot of work but it turned out cute. And the girls loved their aprons. Hope you were inspired by ours and you will have one of your own. Have fun.
