Thanksgiving for Kids -Table Setting Ideas

Thanksgiving for Kids - Table Setting for Kids

Are your children looking for ways to help you get ready for Thanksgiving? Are you looking for something for them to do while you are rushing around your house getting ready for guests? Creating Thanksgiving crafts for kids that can be used on your holiday table is a great idea. These three table setting elements are easy to put together and if children are having to make eight or ten of them could take them a little while to make.

The turkey treat cups requires only wiggly eyes, some colored sheets of foam, and a clear plastic cup. Literally all you have to do is cut out feathers and a beak out of foam.  Then glue the eyes, feathers, and beak onto the plastic cup.  If you have wiggly eyes and foam that have sticky backs you don’t even need glue.

The Mayflower sail straw is just a piece of white foam cut into a sail. A blue straw was laced through holes punched into the sail. If you have straws of various colors, you could have the children create a pattern of straws with sails by having every other cup of the table be the same color.

The napkin ring can be made by wrapping felt around a toilet paper tube that has been cut down. A simple turkey can be created with felt or foam. The turkey is then glued onto the felt wrapped tube.  I didn’t add feet to my turkey, but you could. I bet they would look adorable.

If are looking for a more formal look for your Thanksgiving table, you might think about creating a table setting like this for Thanksgiving breakfast or the leftover snack on Thanksgiving evening.

  18. That turkey treat cup is adorable! My granddaughter taught me — step by step — how to make the pilgrim that her 1st grade class made in school! Very cute.

  20. Happy Thanksgiving! I put JD’s photo on Sulia – hoping that was all right. It’s a tweeter network system and I put that post under Parenting, Education and a few other categories. He’s such a cutie and so lucky to have you for a mom. Us “older” moms are so grateful for our babes – and the blessings that they are.

  22. what a wonderful idea and so creative ~ Happy Thanksgiving ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^

  25. Awwww…we have made some pretty cute favors over the years for Thanksgiving! The sail one is really adorable…I think that is going in the idea box for next year!

    This year we just did nut/candy corn cups with little cake topper toothpicks. It was boring.

    I love the idea of using this type of thing for other meals that day as well!

    Thanks for linking.

    I hope you’re all recovered now and that your Tuesday is going terrifically!

    A+
