Fill a ceramic teapot with a fresh bouquet of seasonal flowers and place it in the center of the table surrounded by cookie flower cupcakes. Prepare a place setting for each child that includes a floral paper plate, color-coordinated utensils, a floral paper cup and a floral napkin tied with ribbon. Tuck a single fresh flower under the ribbon tied around each napkin. Add a colorful teacup for each child. Have a variety of teapots ready for serving.
Notes Construct a cardboard facade of a giant teapot and paint it with poster paints.
Have each party guest put on the afternoon tea hat that she has made and place her head in the spot normally reserved for the teapot lid. Snap a photo to be included with the thank-you note. A variety of ornaments such as beads, charms, large buttons, chenille bees, or small wooden glue-on decorations. Attach the hatband to the hat with craft glue or a glue gun. Next, attach the flower sprig to the hatband with glue or weave the stem of the flower sprig through to the underside of the straw hat.
