With the release of Sleeping Beauty on DVD, why not plan a Princess Tea Party?

Of course, there’s Disney Princess Fairytale party supplies available at your favorite discount or grocery store. But what about making tea sandwiches? Not only would they be yummy to eat, they’d be fun to make, too.

Here’s some recipes from Come to Tea: Fun Tea Party Themes, Recipes, Crafts, Games, Etiquette and More – a great tea party resource guide for parents and kids.

Simple Cucumber Sandwiches
Makes 4 small sandwiches

Ingredients:

1. Cucumber
2. 1 oz. whipped butter or whipped cream cheese warmed to room temperature (easier to spread)
3. 2 pieces of thin-sliced white bread (Pepperidge Farms makes thinly sliced bread just for sandwiches – check your local grocery store.)

Directions:

1. Use a vegetable peeler to peel a cucumber. Ask a parent to thinly slice the cucumber into rounds.
2. Light spread the butter or cream cheese on two slices of thin-sliced white bread. Arrange cucumber slices on one slices of bread. Then top with the second piece.
3. Ask a parent to help you cut off the crusts.
4. Cut the sandwiches into quarters or use a cookie cutter to make shaped sandwiches.

Variation: Checkerboard Sandwiches

Make two sandwiches, one with white bread and one with wheat bread. Cut the crusts off and then cut each into four squares. Rearrange on a plate, alternating white and wheat squares.
