Welcome to the Sew Magical Tea Party- a Waldorf inspired tea party! It's the perfect project to encourage imaginative play! Coupled with some little tea cups or wooden bowls, some scraps of wool (my children loved to use this as “milk”)... these make such a lovely addition to the play kitchen.
My kids pretend to bake, play grocery store, and farmer's market. Here are the best wooden play food sets for toddlers and little kids.
One of the really fun things we did this Summer was discover all the things we could dye play silks with (tissue paper & food dye.) We had so much fun dying them and then playing with them. Recently we have been playing a with red cabbage water experiments - which made me think what play silks would look like dyed with these mixtures. And why limit it to cabbage water? In my cupboard we also decided to play with turmeric, paprika & beetroot. Here is my little chemist ready to mix away to her hearts content with the cabbage water. The pink glasses are her safety goggles ..... Cabbage Chop up red cabbage and add some bit water. Bring the the boil and simmer until cabbage is pale. Split the cabbage water into two pots. Add silk scarf and soak for 30mins to one pot. In the other pot add some vinegar - the mixture will turn dark pink - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Once your silk scarf has finished soaking in the first pot. Remove the scarf and add in baking soda (the mixture will turn greeny blue) - add silk scarf & soak for 30mins. Note: Cabbage water changes color depending on its PH. When they were washed & dried the colors became much less vibrant. Silks soaked in with cabbage water before washing Turmeric Mix turmeric & water - bring to the boil - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins Paprika Mix paprika & water - bring to the boil - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Beetroot Boiled 3 chopped up beetroot in some water for about 40mins- puree everything together - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Cabbage Water = Soft Purple Cabbage Water + Vingear = Soft Pink/Purple Cabbage Water + Baking Soda = Silver Blue Paprika = Gold (honestly - it is a gorgeous gold hue) Beetroot = Cream Turmeric = Bright Bright Yellow (just look at that yellow!! See below.) Note: After we had soaked the silks I dried them on their own on the hottest setting on our tumble dryer (sanitize) and then put them on their own through a 20mins cold wash (no detergent) and dried them again on the hottest setting. I'm not sure we have anymore space for playsilks in our dress up box. I am playing with the idea of making a quilt from these.
