Mass Audubon Visual Arts Center hosts an afternoon tea for children and a favorite stuffed companion.
I had the recent pleasure of attending the Mass Audubon Society’s Teddy Bear Tea at the Visual Arts Center in Canton on Sunday. Sadly, my daughter was feeling under the weather so she and her teddy bear were not able to attend, but I know she would have loved it as much as the group of children who were there did. Mini sandwiches, tea, sweets, crafts and teddy bears galore, what’s not to like, one might ask?

A delight for children, families and all those special teddy bears.
The Mass Audubon Society Visual Arts Center held a Valentine's Day-themed Teddy Bear Tea for children and their special, cuddly friends on Sunday. The estate house was transformed into an elegant tea room with tables dressed and topped with nice linens and china by the roaring fireplaces throughout the house. There was no shortage of things to eat from assorted tea sandwiches, which included many choices from the traditional cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches and smoked salmon to the not-so-traditional but very kid-friendly, bear-shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, teas, hot cocoa, sherbet punch and all kinds of brownies, cupcakes, and even teddy bear shaped Peeps. Fun and delicious!
