On this page
This princess tea party coloring page sets the table for a royal treat. A young princess stands behind a long table, with a tiara on her neat blond bun and a soft pink gown. In front of her sit a round teapot, two cups on saucers and a plate of little cakes. A tall window glows behind her, with pink curtains tied to each side.
The white tablecloth drapes over the edge in a wavy line. Everything is ready, and all that is missing is a guest.
Ideas for your princess tea party coloring page
Choose a color theme first. Pink and gold feels very royal, while blue and white looks like fine old china. The teapot can have small flowers or dots, and the cups can match it. Keep the tablecloth white and add a soft pattern along the bottom edge.
The cakes are a nice spot for bright color. Try pink, yellow and green icing, then add a tiny cherry on top of each. Her hair and skin can match your child. Color the wall a warm peach, and make the window pale blue so it looks like a sunny day.
- Draw steam rising from the spout.
- Add a teddy bear or a doll in the empty chair.
- Put a small vase of flowers on the table.
Host a real tea party
Use this page to plan a pretend tea party at home. You do not need fine china. Plastic cups, juice and a plate of cut up fruit will do. Spread a sheet on the floor, invite some stuffed animals and let your child pour. Pouring and carrying a small cup is great practice for steady hands.
It is also a fun time to work on manners. Practice saying please and thank you. Take small sips. Ask a guest a question and wait for the answer. Kids tend to enjoy all this far more when it is a game.
A little tea history
People in China have been drinking tea for thousands of years. It later spread to Japan, and traders brought it to Europe. In England, a famous duchess started having tea and cakes in the afternoon, because dinner was served so late. That custom became known as afternoon tea, and Wikipedia has a longer account of how it began.
Show your child a map, and trace the long trip tea made. They may be surprised to learn that a simple drink has such a long story.
Story and speaking practice
Ask who is coming to tea today. A dragon? A talking cat? The queen? Have your child write a short invitation on the back of the sheet. Teachers can do the same in class. Pairs of students can act out the tea party, taking turns to host and to be the guest. Shy kids often speak more freely when they are pretending to be someone else.
You can also count together. How many cups are on the table? How many cakes? If three friends arrive, how many more cups are needed?
Who will like it
This page has plenty of small items, so it suits ages four and up. Younger kids can focus on the big cloth and curtains. Older kids will want to add patterns to the china.
The long table has room for guests the drawing does not show. Ask your child to draw a second cup, a plate and a name card for each one.
