We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.

Sitting down for a nice cup of tea is a sophisticated ritual many kids appreciate, too, as they pretend to sit down with the queen (or just their favorite stuffed animal). Kids’ tea sets divert the attention away from your breakable cups and saucers, replacing them with durable ones that often come in fun colors and kid-friendly designs. Some come with a carrying case or picnic basket for tea parties on the go. The kits contain cups, saucers, a teapot, spoons, and sometimes extras like a serving tray or pretend tea time snacks like cookies. Kids’ tea sets also help develop children’s fine motor skills and manners. You can find a nice one for about $20.
