Tea Anyone?
I'm the kind of person who likes to
show of lots and lots and LOTS of photos of her kids. Yes, I am one
of THOSE moms. Not because I'm bragging that my kid passed
kindergarten, or because they made a 'poopie' in the toiled. Though,
to be fair, I am a mom with a special needs son, so I make no
guarantees. I'm just saying. You've been warned.
I adore my kids. And I find it
hilarious that my younger set (6 and 4) is so similar to my older
set (19 and 15). Courtney is m y 6-year old and she is the
quintessential girlie-girl. If it's pink and sparkles she's game. So
it was no surprise when high-pitched sequels and giggles ensued after
she found out I was testing a pink and flower themed tea set. So, to
torture her giddy little heart, I made her wait until I could take a picture of her with her new toy. Sorry, the picture isn't the best because
she wasn't willing to sit still long enough for me to get good
pictures.
I happened to get this particular teaset for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
However, this is not the first time I've had this tea set- and the
first set I paid full price for – and LOVED. So this tea set was a
no-brainer. I knew I'd like it before I got it.
Why do I like this tea set. Several
reasons.
- They are made of sturdy metal. If I stepped on those things because a kiddo left them on the carpet, it wouldn't dent or crush. And it's not the cheap plastic you normally find that fades or cracks if you look at it funny.
- The design is stinking adorable. Hot pink and flowers. How much better does it get for a little girl?
- There's enough for a true party. You get 4 plates (about 4” in size) 4 tea plates, 4 tea cups, and a little teapot complete with a top.
The only think you need to be aware of
is that they are not designed to actually hold liquids. Since
they're assembled using rivets, they aren't water-tight. But that's
OK. Less clean-up work for you when the party is over!
The only thing that would keep me from
giving the Tea set an A+ is the inability to hold actual liquids.
But its report card is a solid A nonetheless. I'd highly recommend
this tea party kit. And I'd certainly buy it again.
