How ready are you for Thanksgiving?
Here are some creative ideas we found for a kid friendly Thanksgiving. These playful feathered headdress place markers adorned with Thanksgiving-themed crafts make this kids' table colorful and fun. There is minimal prep work that will ensure your guests stay happily entertained and provides time for the adults to enjoy conversation as they enjoy their peaceful meal nearby.
*Functional Tablecloth
Cover the table in brown craft paper to provide a place for creative minds and idle hands to color doodle or play games. Simply roll out craft paper and securely tape it under the table's edges. Bonus: This durable surface protects your tabletop and makes cleaning up spills and crumbs a snap.
*Wearable Place Cards
Inspired by the story of the first Thanksgiving, these Indian headdresses are customized with each child's name as a creative way to mark their seat. They can be made ahead of time by the hostess or children who are old enough to use a glue gun.
*Kid-Friendly Centerpieces
Centerpieces for a kids' table shouldn't be fussy; they'll need to withstand possible spills and rough-housing so opt for heavy vessles like ironstone pitchers and small mixing bowls. Fill them with mums, pumpkins, acorn squash or gourds and embelish further with raffia, ribbons and feathers.
*Mess-Free Crafts
Craft projects are a great way to entertain and encourage creativity, but the dining table shouldn't be cluttered with paints and glue sticks. Instead, stock the table with an assortment of colorful beads, leather cording and feathers so the kids can create a necklace or bracelet to wear with their headdress.
*Color and Create
Fill jelly jars or juice glasses with crayons so kids can color the brown paper tablecloth as well as fun Thanksgiving paper crafts and printables, like these turkey finger puppets. Children can also be encouraged to write a list of things they are thankful for.
