Tea Time With Winnie the Pooh

It's time for a little smackeral of something...

Here are some recipes and party ideas for a Winnie the Pooh party or tea. All of Pooh's favorite recipes are made with HUNNY of course. Rabbit even gave us the recipe for his favorite carrot cake.

Hunny Tea Sandwiches

HUNNY BREAD   
3/4 c  Strong Tea, hot 
3/4 c  Packed Brown Sugar 
1/3 c  HUNNY 
2 c  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

BANANA FILLING
6 oz Banana, ripe 
1 tsp Lemon Juice 
Chocolate Sprinkles

Hunny Bread: Butter and flour a 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2" loaf pan. Preheat oven 
to 350øF. Divide tea between 2 small bowls. Stir brown sugar into one until 
dissolved. Stir hunny into the other until blended. Set both aside. In a 
medium bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Mix well. Stir in sugar mixture 
until blended. Quickly stir in hunny mixture. Pour into pan. Bake at 350øF 
for 40-45 minutes until skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in 
pan set on rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool on rack.

Filling: In a medium bowl, mash banana with lemon juice.

To Assemble: Trim off ends of bread. Cut remaining loaf into slices 1/2" 
thick. Cut each slice into a floral shape with a 1 3/4" to 2" cookie cutter. 
With a sharp paring knife or very small round cookie cutter, cut a 1/2" 
round hole in the center of half the flowers, forming "doughnut" shapes. 
Spread solid bread flowers with filling. Top with "doughnut" slices. Fill 
hole with chocolate sprinkles. Serve at once.

Activities

Tigger's bouncing race
Have the kids bounce like Tigger (like a sack race). You can even make long tails out of construction paper (colored black and orange striped, of course)

Pin the tail on Eeyore or the Bee on Pooh Bear's nose.

Bees in the HUNNY pot
Toss or drop clothes pins into a bucket or jar or paper sack marked HUNNY (depending on age/skill level) Paint the clothes pins black and yellow to look like bees.

Favors

Use brown paper lunch bags, write HUNNY on the front then roll down the top edges. Some stores even have little plastic Hunny pots, especially at Easter time. Add Pooh drinking cups, gummy bears, or any small Pooh related toy.
