Simple Ideas -
- Get the kids involved in decorating their own table by making some of the decorations and setting the table.
- Provide construction paper in a assortment of colors. They can make paper chains . The chains can be placed on the table or hung on the backs of chairs or even hung from the ceiling above their table.
- Allow them to make their own placemats. One idea is They can draw "turkeys" from their own handprints and put them on the placemats . Have them write their names on them as their place cards.
- Cover the Kids table with white butcher block paper . Draw the outline of assorted Thanksgiving symbols all over the paper and have the children color them in with crayons colored pencils or marking pens.
- Decorate paper cups with Thanksgivng cut outs, leaves or stickers.
- Place Thanksgiving treats at each setting - Chocolate turkeys, Candy corn, fall colored suckrers etc.
- Place the children's table near the adult table so they still feel they are being included. They will want to show off their creativity. Give them plenty of praise for helping to decorate their own table.
