As a homeschool mom of 7, for years, poetry/tea time has been super important to me. In the midst of busy days filled with different ages, stages and levels of school work, it's a great way to bring the whole family together. For many years, I have just pieced together art, poetry, music, etc for our tea times together. I was so excited when I saw an ad for Tea Time Together, a cirriculum that essentially does the work for me! The lessons are beautiful, engaging and educational. I love that the lessons flow with the months and season as we go through them. It's very practical and timely. I love that it can be catered to your family's particular needs and interest levels - short on time? That's ok, the lessons aren't too long or cumbersome. Have extra time, or are your children extra excited and interested in that particular topic? Go ahead and dive in deeper with the QR codes for videos and links for further discussion. I am so please with this purchase. An absolute must for my homeschool. I hope in the future my children will look back in fondness at our homeschool memories and the love that was shared over things like Tea Time Together.
We’ve been doing Tea Time with our kids before these came out and e always enjoyed our tea time talks but when I added the monthly Tea Time Together bundle our tea time leveled up. We’re having meaningful conversations about the art, appreciating the timeline of when the art and music was created and what life must have been like. The recipes are a wonderful pairing as well! My kids favorite part is the Convivial Corner with the fun facts. My favorite part is the QR codes that link me directly to the music and art on YouTube. We listen to the music as we discuss the art, it’s perfect. Thank you Juliet for this amazing idea and putting all of these together in such a thoughtful way.
I have a 5 year old and 9 year old (daughters) and this content has been useful for all ages including myself at 40 years old!! It is conversational, engaging and educational! Our family has greatly benefited from doing this together, and has come at a crucial time prior to the 2024 elections. This comes highly recommended for everyone!
As a homeschool mom, I am always looking fun and inviting material. I will be starting this in July as we are doing year round learning for start of the school year. Everything looks beautiful and neatly put together.
We love this product, it’s such a great add to a homeschool day.
The sweetest set! The quality and ease of how the bundle flows is amazing. I’m going to start homeschooling my kiddos next year, and my little girl is thrilled to incorporate this into our learning time together!
These are great lessons! I did this with my daughter and we both learned so much.
Looking forward to using this!! Love how it’s all together and goes along with where we are in history curriculum
We have enjoyed adding this to our homeschooling life! My 4 yr old loves this tea time together and learning and listening.
We are Charlotte Mason inspired and Composer/Art/Poetry have been on the want-to-fit-it-in list but I could never seem to make it a priority. These guides have been the ticket to get it done in a gentle way. We started with the Art Mysteries guide and my kids loved it and asked for more! Now we're starting in on January and it's been so fun! I haven't added in the recipes quite yet but I think we'll do it here and there. Thank you for this awesome resource!
This curriculum has opened a whole new door for homeschooling. There is not a rush, there is not chaos and there is not clutter. So, if those are the words you use to describe how your homeschooling is going right now...PURCHASE this curriculum. Purchase ANY of the curriculum sets offered via Tea Time Together. You will see a complete difference in your daily routine.
I do it a little differently— I print one-sided and laminate. I cut these up and incorporate them into the different subject areas. For example, for poetry I cut out the poems and put them on a ring on my language shelf and my kids will read through the poems. For art, I put it on my art shelf. I cut up the big picture into cubes. Then my kids have to look at the small picture with the information to puzzle the painting back together and then read about it. We also circle back at the end of the month and my kids will choose one painting to do “art inspired by___.” For the composer, we listen in the forest and dance/move how it makes us feel. Then on car rides, I play the compositions on the way to where we’re going. For the convivial, we read together. We sang carols. I have not tried the baking recipes, but I am excited to.
I love this!!! If you want simple yet elegant lessons...this is the way to go!!!!
I just got this to prep for next year. The goal is to pair it with a global history curriculum. After looking through everything I can't wait to start. I'm so impressed with the material. We have young kids and it is great for them. It is also something my husband would like to put in a rotation with other sets we bought since the kids will get something different out of it every few years. So grateful we found this!
I was so excited to find this particular Advent and Christmas series! There's so many out there, but this is perfect for all the Charlotte Mason lovers out there! I slipped it in place of our morning time together and it was seamless! Thanks for having it all in one place!
I submitted a 1 star review due to the fact I thought I was receiving physical copies, rather than downloads. The owner, Juliet reached out to me explaining what I missed on her website. She was very thoughtful and clearly cares about the dignity of her small business. It was my fault I did not read the fine print.
We did the first week and my kids (ages 8 and 9) loved it. It really spoke to my mom and myself as well. A beautiful mixture of art, music, history, and Scripture to help us reflect on Advent and prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus.
I just finished printing off all the material. Can’t wait to start. Simple and beautiful
Another wonderful tea time set. We have used these for over a year now and we love them.
Love these! My kids always look forward to them. We've purchased more than 12 of them now 😅
I start with a THANK YOU! I very much appreciate a sale of themed, rich content of things I sadly typically often brush to the side, struggling in our homeschooling to regularly do more than once a month in detail. I searched for Catholic-based once I found your advertisement, to discover zero of the same design of ease & covering 3 subjects. As I was printing, I absolutely was thrilled to find various art pieces are religious-based! Thank you for this!
The qr codes are very appealing to kids w/o digging heavily into too much screen-time, which we avoid, and very easy as an all-in-one to us parents. I very much like the diverse art and adding in a musical piece plus to get some cooking in there, too, and much of what looks like we can easily alter for our food allergies. I have a lil boy and tea time & in the kitchen does not just need to be girly, even though I did that phase, too, and loved every minute.
I shared with a friend when I saw this and she, too, bought and will likely be returning as she has a teenage girl. So that's the beauty, this can be applied almost in any case scenario! I can see using the Advent with the whole family and expanding w/some of our own art related to the style or design (hint-hint, adding in an extension project would be even more beneficial for folks like me).
So thank you for this again and for an affordable sale from a budgety family. Plus, you got back to me right away when I had a question and I value this about a seller! I definitely will keep all your other references in mind as we age and grow into them! I to will be recommending you! Blessings to you and your creativity!
