When the girls arrived I read them the story of Alice in Wonderland. Many of them had already heard the story so they were telling it to me! After the story they rotated in groups between the Red Queen's Dress Up Area and The Mad Hatter's Hat Shop Craft Area.
The girls had fun trying on scarves and feather boas, necklaces, bracelets, and gloves.
They also had a lot of fun making a mini Mad Hatter's Hat that we slid on to a headband for them to wear that day.
After the dress up and crafting fun was over the girls were treated to an amazing tea party in the dining room. I had the dining room doors shut and I had all of the girls come together in front of the doors. We pretended like we were falling down the rabbit hole in to Wonderland and then I swung open the doors to reveal an amazing tea party just for them!
I fed the girls peanut butter and honey tea sandwiches, ham and cheese tea sandwiches, strawberry cream cheese tea sandwiches, strawberries and grapes. For dessert there were lemon tea cakes, bunny tails cookies, raspberry lemonade cakes, and Mad Hatter hat cakes. I also served two different kinds of pink tea that the girls drank from their mismatched China teacups!

The girls had an amazing time at their tea party! After we had tea I gave the girls a tour of Southard House and they took home a special bag of sweet treats I made just for them. We had so much fun together! I am really looking forward to next year! If you would like more information about Southard House, please visit our website at www.southardhouse.com.
