There will be lots of children at our Thanksgiving table this year. My parents have 19 grandkids (and another on the way). With so many small kids around, you definitely need something for little ones to do while they’re waiting for last minute food preparations to finish up. You can use this faux pumpkin pie alongside any other Thanksgiving place card ideas you have. When the kids open up their “pie,” a variety of toys and fun activities will be waiting.
Supplies: spray adhesive, the printed faux pumpkin pies, disposable aluminum pans with cardboard/silver lids
Directions: Click on the images below to download the faux pumpkin pie top. To print the pumpkin pie top, email the file to any photo center (such as Costco) that prints in a 12 x 18″ photo size. Get the lustre finish. Cut the pie shape out and glue to the top of the cardboard/silver lid, on the white side, with spray adhesive. Fill your container with toys and prizes for the kiddos. Put the pie lid on top and crimp around the metal edges to keep the lid secure. Disposable aluminum pans can be found at most grocery stores.

Don’t have any small children at your Thanksgiving table? You can also use these as take home containers for your guest to store their Thanksgiving leftovers. And stay tuned for directions on the candlestick centerpieces. Photos by Nicole Hill Gerulat. Pie photo by Sara Westbrook.

This had me in stitches!!! Almost as good as the real thing.
Oh My that is the cutest thing ever- I was needing a fun idea for our “kids” table. Thanks ever so much!
and yes, it worked for me.
ohmigosh- I humongously love this. We don’t have a kids’ table this year, but this is SO going to be dropped off on a lot of doorsteps in the next week!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’m thankful for YOU!
i’m so excited to see these at our family’s Thanksgiving Feast this turkey day; courtesy of Miss OCP, herself. Thanks! i know your kids, plus all of your nieces & nephews, will love it.
ok, this is the cutest idea ever!
I’m totally doing this for Thanksgiving – too cute!
You amaze me! So clever!
I’m going to make these so the children in my son’s 1st grade class can take home leftover treats after the class Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for all of your WONDERFUL ideas!
How do you come up with these ideas?!? Love this. I think it would make a lovely hostess gift, too, filled with chocolates or other small items.
I feel faint; the cuteness is simply overwhelming! : )
Seriously, Brittany…how do you come up with such creative stuff??!! LOVE IT!
I made these for thanksgiving and they were amazing! Each child loved the surprises inside! So glad you told me about using Costco. The price difference between Costco and Walmart almost paid for the membership alone!
