In the hustle and bustle of planning your Thanksgiving menu and table decor, don't forget about the infamous "kiddie table". In order to ensure a pleasurable meal with the "adults" at your Thanksgiving feast, be sure to create a table that is sure to hold their attention and interest. Make the table crafty, and add crafts and activities along with it.
Here are some of my favorite ideas:
- No linens needed. Drape the table in large craft paper and add crayons to their tablesettings.
- Or if you are on the go for Thanksgiving, bring some coloring book-style place matts so they can add their own style to their meal.
- While you're cooking, have the kids make crafty place settings and napkin rings. See some of my favorites above. Some of the best are made with items around the house or yard like TP rolls and pine cones.
- Make turkey-leg party hats with paper bags or tall pilgrim hats with craft paper.
- Save the China for the adults. Pottery Barn Kids and other homestores have charming plates to enhance the atmosphere at the table.
Whether your kids are 2 or 99, it will surely be a hit!
