Whether you call it the kids’ table at your family get together or a mini feast for the school classroom party, surprise little hands this year with an awesome thanksgiving table set just for them.
Day #1:
Your best china and expensive linens are great for the adults, but stay relaxed by setting this table with kid-friendly plates, utensils, and cups and by giving them dishtowels for napkins.
Cover the table in brown craft paper and provide little baskets of crayons so bored children can color. Use small items as part of your centerpiece that kids can touch–but not break–like mini pumpkins and gourds.
Make cute corn on the cob place cards (customized for each child or generic to keep everything fair) full of little treasures that can be played with at the table. We used items found at grocery and craft stores: a collage of stickers, a candy necklace, a toy car, a small container of playdough, and a multicolor pen. We wrapped up all of the items in yellow tissue paper, added real corn husks, then tied them together at both ends with raffia.
Are you wondering how to make this adorable paper bag turkey? Tune in tomorrow for the deets.

This is SUPER! I made that popcorn turkey last year and it was SO MUCH FUN! I had seen it on Amy Atlas. Now I’m putting together a Friday Favorites – Thanksgiving Kid’s Table Ideas round up and fell in love with your corn on the cob treat holders…and I scrolled up and saw the paper bag turkey again, too! You are a talented gal! I’m including this in my post. Thanks for the awesome inspiration!

Adorable!
Just combine it with Martha Stewart’s idea with the turkey outlines on brown paper tablecloth, then, voila! Perfect.
