This tea party game was the favorite Christmas present this year. My daughter just turned 3 and loves this game. We can not go through a day without playing it several times. The table cloth is so cute and "girly". The pieces are very durable and well coated to avoid damage from a small spill. One time through the game, and my daughter had the rules down pat. (She still has some trouble with Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land etc., but picked this game up with no trouble at all.) Another great perk of the game is that my 3 year old can set the game up and pick it up all by herself!
I would highly recommend this game for any young girl, especially if she is even slightly prissy. It is so cute, even I couldn't wait to play!

We LOVE our tea party game! The real fabric tablecloth is a nice touch, and is creased deeply enough to be folded the same way when it is returned to the box. The game pieces are sturdy enough for plenty of pretend play, and the box becomes a tea tray for the remaining teatime items. Each plate, cup, sandwich, fruit, and dessert looks different from one another, so instead of skipping a turn when a child already has an item they may to trade it for a like item just to keep things interesting. The game lasts just long enough to stay fun. An added bonus at our house is that it not only eschews licensed characters like Dora or Barbie-- it even has art by renowned children's book illustrator Lizzy Rockwell!

I purchased this game based on the previous reviews. It is a very cute game and my 3 year old daughter loves to play it. There are enough pieces for up to 4 players. The teapot is the spinner. Each person takes a turn with the spinner. Whatever item category the spinner lands on, the person picks that item from the "tea tray" (box lid or bottom). Players cannot collect food items until they have a plate.

The categories of items are: plate, tea cup, sugar & cream, napkin & utensils, fruit, dessert, sandwiches, and bees. If a player's spin lands on the bees, they must choose 1 item to return to the box.

The game comes with a real fabric "tablecloth" to play on and alternative instructions for different ways to play the game.

The game pieces are very sturdy and the artwork is very nice. We really like the concept. The only cons to the game for us are:

1. The tablecloth needs to be bigger. The game suggests that the teapot spinner be placed in the middle of the cloth and players' items on the edges around the teapot. With 4 players, there isn't enough room for all 4 plates (if the teapot is in the middle).

2. The game can take a while, or become a bit boring when you have to keep spinning to get the last items. If a player lands on an item they already have, they can exchange it for another item, but it can take a long time.

Overall I gave this toy 4 stars based on the concept, quality and enjoyment of the game. I knocked off 1 star for the tablecloth issue and the fact that the game could last a very long time, at least longer than young ones might want to play.

(the box is marked for ages 5 and up, but I don't see why it couldn't be labeled 3 and up)

I gave this to my 4 and 6 year-old daughters last Christmas. It's now our favorite game. There isn't any skill involved, just luck, but it's still lots of fun. It does teach them patience because you have to build your place setting and gather, or lose, food items gradually as you land on various parts of the spinner. Sometimes we pretend we're having a tea party too!

I bought this for my four year old granddaughter's birthday. She loves tea parties.

The nicest thing about this game is the four year old can play it with her six and seven year old siblings and they all enjoyed it very much.

I'll definitely try more games in this line.

My daughter likes to play this. The rules are simple, the game is attractive and durable. The game also goes quickly, which works for the short attention span crowd. She did try to taste a few peices though.

My daughter is two and my son is six. Both enjoy the game. It is easy for my two year old to understand and it is an amusing game for my six year old. If anything it does teach patience as well as table manners.

My sister recommended this game to our mother after she played it on a recent visit with her grandchildren ages 4 and 6. She bought it to play with her great grandchildren and they love it. Every time they visit they insist on playing it at least 3 times... especially when they beat GG. Mom told her sister about it and my aunt had me order one for her so she would have a game to play with her great grandchildren when they come to visit.

I purchased this game for my 5 year old niece last year for Christmas. She loves tea parties. She is still playing this game til this day. Which, for children, rarely happens. I am not sure how educational it is, but she does enjoy it. If you're an adult and you're forced to play this game over and over it does get a little tiring. But that is with almost any game though. It's a fun and simple enough game that my 6 year old nephew doesn't mind playing it with her. I explained the directions to her one time, and never went over them again. This is a perfect, not over the top, gift that most little girls will enjoy.

My three year old daughter loves this game. It has taught her the importance of taking turns and that not always winning is okay. She even plays with the pieces and creates her own tea party with her dolls and my husband and I. Great game and toy!
