The ‘Fun Tea Party’ game with cards

About the game

It’s time to invite guests for tea! But first, you need to set the table: find the cups, match them with saucers, and don’t forget the spoons and teapots.

‘Fun Tea Party’ is a game with tableware in which the child matches pieces by picture and outline, compares sizes and learns to find the right pairs. And once the table is set, they can invite guests and act out their own tea party story.

From finding matching pictures to outline tasks — even the simple act of setting the table becomes a game that tests attention and imagination.
