We like to treat tea parties like interactive children's dinner theater - the character will lead the children through some tea etiquette lessons and then while they drink their tea and eat their snacks, the character will perform a magic show or story time. It gives the kids something to watch and works great. After tea time, the character will lead dancing and games. They even can do face painting and makeovers. Often adults will take this time as an opporutnity to connect with their friends and family, so they want someone to keep an eye on the kids. We have enough games and activities for 3+ hours of entertainment, but we recommend 1.5-2 hours for events. If you're looking for a way to make your kid's party special, you've come to the right place.
