A Taste of a Terrific Tea Party

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

The taste of food is so much sweeter when people create their own bake goods. Children had a chance to do this and more at the Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre (PLC) themed drop-in program, Tea Party on July 25.

This program included happy children engaged in making mad hatter tea party hats or tea tops where later, they made tea biscuits with the assistance of PLC Programmer, Angel Campbell, parents, and volunteers. There was also Tea party’s themed game, free play, and Campbell read them the story, ‘Alice in Wonderland’-Mad Hatters Tea Party. Campbell said this program helps children with their social and

emotional development, helps them to learn how to share ingredients when they cook, pass things over, how to wait, patience, as well, they developed cognitive skills when they measured ingredients. This program also improved their fine motor skills and taught them about health and nutrition, as well as, the general knowledge that goes with this.
