me that a more kid-friendly approach is worth a try. This year incorporate a few of these entertainment options for the kiddie table into your celebration. (Click on the links for craft instructions!)
as a centerpiece and marker storage.
3. Make the place settings kid-friendly with these Button Indian Corn Napkin Rings.
This is a great craft to do before the big day.
4. Add a bit of history by making homemade paper pilgrim bonnets and pilgrim
hats. Find the how-to tutorials for the pilgrim bonnets at Skip to My Lou and
for the pilgrim hats at Family Fun.
5. Have the kids write down what they're thankful for this year on stamped tags, then tie to the branches of fall foliage. Or try this Thanksgiving Tree Craft.
6. Get nostalgic and get a few giggles … set out a box of old family photos – the older the better – and have the kids try to identify aunts, uncles and
grandparents!
7. Scatter pretty fall leaves across the table for decoration, then let the kids make leaf colorings by putting paper on top and rubbing a crayon over it.
8. Make a simple snack mix of candy corn, sunflower seeds, pretzels, bugles, and dried fruit. Kids can sort the mix on their plates, make patterns, and, of course,
snack!
9. Color pasta and have kids make {Macaroni Kid-inspired} Noodle Necklaces. Directions found here.
10. Play Thanksgiving Day Bingo!
Enjoy your holiday!
