An Extra Thirty Minutes of Parent Time With a Kids Playhouse
As parents we’re busy and there are times when we need an extra thirty minutes of uninterrupted adult time where we have to absolutely address a task. One secret I have used successfully to getting an extra thirty minutes is to set up a tea party for my daughter and a friend in my daughter’s kids playhouse.
I get my daughter involved by having her put her tea set on a tray. Then she and her friend select the tea party snacks. Most of the time it’s a choice from gold fish crackers, popcorn, cheese slices, carrots and dip, or strawberries. Great finger food and small enough to fit on the tea part plates. Then the choice of drink is made from 100% juice, Kool-aid or lemonade. Lastly, the napkins and small stirring spoons are placed on the tray before the tray is taken to the kids playhouse.
The girls love the treats and have so much creative fun pretending to have a tea party. While they are having fun, I can get uninterrupted phone calls made setting up doctor or dentist appointments, paying bills or popping dinner in the oven.
Once I’m done, I’m able to enjoy a cup ‘o tea with the kids in the kids playhouse!
