Thanksgiving Table Crafts Your Kids Will Love
Getting together with friends and family on Thanksgiving is the whole reason we celebrate, and I don’t know a single kid who wants to sit with her out-of-state cousins and sip ice water from a cut crystal glass.
Let kids be kids and set up a table where it’s okay for elbows to rest and for giggles (or gobbles) to fly!
Grateful Gobbles
A kids’ table needs a centerpiece, but it should be something as playful as they are. Set up some crayons and paper feathers and have them express what they are grateful for.

Chow-Down Checklist
With all the excitement, kids often forget to actually eat the delicious food that’s been prepared for Thanksgiving. Use brown butcher paper to cover the table and write a checklist for each child so they can mark off what they gobbled!

Know Your Place
If ever there is a holiday that calls for place cards, it’s Thanksgiving. These walnut turkeys are amazingly genius and so easy to do! Let the kids make them in all different colors (and don’t leave the adults out)!

Howdy, Pilgrim
For a twist on place cards, create these pilgrim napkin rings uses the faces of the kids at the table. When the meal is done, turn them into finger puppets.

The Last Leg
For dessert, surprise the kids with these Rice Krispie turkey legs. To create the bone, dip a pretzel rod and mini marshmallows in white chocolate!
