How to try it

Set out a toy tea set on a blanket. Show your toddler how to pour into a friend's cup and pass it over, then wait while the friend takes a sip. Swap places so each child gets to pour and drink.

Materials

  • Toy tea set
  • Blanket

Safety note

Use only toy dishes, with no water or drink, and keep small pieces larger than a toilet-paper tube.
