Parents and teachers can help little ones assemble this tea time placemat craft by tracing and cutting out the printable template below. I used some pretty Christmas patterned paper for my own sample shown on the right. I also layered the paper tea cups on top of a white doily and added two tea tags from some actual tea bags. I glued these as if they were steeping inside my tea cups.
Children can play simple math games will waiting for their lunch or tea + crumpets! Simply ad and subtract using the visual aid i.e. placemat and a few lumps of sugar thus:
- Add the two together = counting all of the sugar cubes present in both tea cups.
- Subtract the lower number of sugar cubes from the higher.
- How many sugar cubes can you stack together within each tea cup?
- How many lumps of sugar do you take in your tea? How about your companion?

| After photographing this Christmas tea placemat, I laminated it, minus the sugar cubes of course. |
Polly gave a dollies' tea,
And many guests were there:
Kitty came in white fur coat
And Rover in curled hair.
Soldier Tim, with sword so bright,
And Miss Susanna Lee
Sat beside old Rover Dog
And Kitty at the tea.
