Fantasy Tin Tea Set

Tea is served from a very small suitcase. Unclip the metal clasp and the case opens onto rainbow stripes, with the tray tucked into the lid and the rest of the service waiting on either side of a striped divider.

Then meet the guest list. A unicorn trots beneath a rainbow on the teapot, which wears a pink lid with a shiny knob. A pastel-striped zebra prances across the hot-pink tray and turns up again on both cups. The two saucers go their own ways, with a mermaid and a swan on one and a cherry-topped treat on the other. Toucans, jellyfish and more mermaids drift around the case.

When the party wants a change of scene, the blue handle takes it from the playroom floor to a picnic blanket, with room at the table for a friend.
