Little Red Riding Hood Tea


Please join me for tea at the kid's table today.
This is the cutest Little Red Riding Hood Storytime tea set.


I like the red and white flower at the bottom of the cup.
Mr. Wolf looks quite dapper in his purple overalls.
And Little Red is adorable in polkadots.

Do any of you toy collectors know the year?
It was made by Ohio Arts, and looks like it may have been in the 70's.

    I believe this set is from the 60's because I remember playing with a set like this.

    Gayle -- what a delightful little set -- totally late 1960's or early 1970's :)

    Blessings!

    I love it! Wherever did you find the tea set? It does have a 70s look to it. I keep seeing these on etsy and drooling over them, but I haven't bought one yet. I keep thinking I'll stumble on a set.

    I had fun checking out all you've been up to lately. I was a Jr. Girl Scout too....sometime in the mid 70s when I was about 8 or 9. I remember sewing a drawstring tote bag, but we lost our leader and the troop disbanded. My brother was a boy scout longer than I was a girl scout. I might still have that Junior Girl Scout handbook. So glad I dropped in for a visit.

    Hi,
    So fun to see your tea set. I have the same set. I bought it at a yard sale for my playhouse. I don't think mine is a full set, but I sure do think it's cute. We moved 2 years ago and have plans to build a new playhouse for the grandies. Now, it's being stored in the basement. Can't wait to bring it out to play. Now following you.

    Omigosh, I love these! What a true collectible set. And the colors are still so bright...reminds me of my childhood days, but sad to say never kept my toys.
    Happy Tea Tuesday!
