9. High tea (aka kids to serve mums morning tea!)
Tips: Make it a special event for every School holiday. Take turns with other mums to host. Everyone brings
something to share. Depending on the number the host, allocate say 2 other mums on
the roster will help kids in the kitchen whilst the rest of the mums sit down to have
a chat and a cuppa first. Kids can help place cupcakes on the cupcake stands; fold the napkins and set the table etc.
This activity can help nurture a child’s:
* Sense of Self
Tips: Preparing and serving mums morning tea with other kids can help your kids develop an awareness of themselves
as individuals and as a member of a community and help them develop a healthy
sense of self-esteem.
* Physical wellbeing
Tips: When your kids are picking up the cupcakes and placing
them on the cupcake stands; when they are folding the napkins and placing them on the table, they are developing their fine motor skills.
* Maths skills
Tips: When your kids are counting the number of napkins and
how many spoons they need to set the table with they are developing their math
skills.
