Mother’s Day Tea Party Activities for All Ages
1. Tea Bag Making
What better activity for a tea party than to make your own tea bags?!

2. Mummy & Me Book
There is no better time than Mother’s Day to reflect on some of your most precious memories together. Creating a Mummy and Me book could look like starting a journal, scrapbook or putting together a photo album with photos of just you and your mum.
Mummy & Me Journal
Create a Journal together in which you will begin to share thoughts, notes and letters. This is a great way to start up an ongoing tradition to help you stay open with each other.
The activity for this would include creating the cover for your journal. This could be as simple or full as you both like.

Mummy & Me Scrapbook
What I love about scrap booking is its freedom! A Mummy and Me scrapbook should include photos of you both, stories, thoughts, pretty decorations and anything else that is special to you both.
When preparing for this activity you’ll want to gather things like:
- An empty scrapbook
- Pens, pencils and Markers
- Washi tapes and glue
- Photos
- Stickers
- Scissors and ruler
- Pretty Papers
Mummy & Me Photo Album
Putting together a photo album is easy to set up. All you need is an empty album and lots of photos ranging from as early as pregnancy to current.
You’re sure to have a great time as you organise them from first to last, most likely laughing as you recall the special memories.
3. A Photoshoot
There is nothing a mother loves more than her children, but a close second would be photos of her children!
Make the most of this special day by capturing your family’s love in photos. That could mean setting up a special backdrop or just having a photographer take candid photos at your tea party.
4. Bunting Making
Perhaps you have an empty wall just begging for a bit of brightening up. Bunting is a fun project that can be as easy or complicated as you want.
There are so many different and beautiful bunting ideas out there, whether that be the traditional triangle garland or a ribbon garland!
5. Flower Crown Making
This one is for the girls. Flower crowns are fun, easy and gorgeous to make! They are also great accessories for special photos!
The flowers can also act as beautiful decorations on your tea table before you use them for a crown.

6. Cup Cake Decorating
This is yet another option that can ‘kill two birds with one stone.’
By baking cupcakes for your Mother’s Day tea party you can cover your main dish and activity at once! You’ll find everyone loves to frost their cupcakes with their favorite toppings or a cute design.
Once your done, simple sip, nibble and enjoy!

7. Jewelry Making
Jewlery is often a “go-to” Mother’s Day gift as its a precious gift that can be kept forever as a symbol of affection.
That’s what makes jewelry making the perfect activity as you can create unique pieces to last a lifetime. Charm bracelets specifically have recently become very popular as they are so cute and every charm can have a meaning.
To take your charms to the next level you could consider creating your own from clay!
8. Memory Shadow Box
Shadow boxes can be a beautiful capsule in which you can add photos, items, words, anything that reflects your theme.
With the theme of Mother’s Day in mind, consider working together to create shadow boxes with some of your keepsakes from your favourite memories together.
9. Flowerpot Painting
Last but not least we have flowerpot painting. This craft would be especially perfect for a garden tea party themed Mother’s Day.
All you’ll need for this activity is a few terracotta flowerpots, paint, brushes and water.
You could also finish this activity by planting either a seed or flowers into your new pot! This would give you a living memory of the day’s enjoyment.
10. Play A Game
Many of these activities have involved creativity, but maybe you’re after something fun, relaxed and mess-free.
Bananagrams is a favorite with my family as it’s relaxed and anyone can play.
