Thanksgiving Kiddie Table

Thanksgiving is almost here! Are you ready? Is your menu planned? Your centerpiece made? How about the Kiddie Table?

I have a fun, easy and very frugal Kiddie Table for you today. Our boys are all teenagers now, but when they were young we always had fun setting a special table for them. I remember at family dinners when all the kids would sit at a special table, they would laugh, have fun {and sometimes get into trouble} and simply enjoy the holiday.

All of the ideas are really simple, so I don’t have step-by-step photos today {forgive me}. We started with a plastic tablecloth, they are only $.97 cents at Walmart in the Party Section, then added some placemats that are pieces of poster board, you can buy them in a package of 5 already cut. They are perfect to color and draw on, which is why we filled the Pilgrim Hats with crayons.

Pilgrim Hat Crayon Cups:

• Black cups {$.97 cents at Walmart}
• Black cardstock paper {leftover from our Halloween Party}
• Cream and yellow scrapbook paper for the belt and buckle

Instructions:

Cut out a circle a little larger than the bottom of the cup, glue to cup

Cut a strip of cream paper for the belt, a square of yellow for the buckle and a square of cream for the inside of the buckle

Glue on the belt and buckle and fill with crayons

Mayflower Straw:

Cut a rectangle of white cardstock paper and punch a hole in each end. Feed the straw through the holes.

Pie Snacks:

Start with a cupcake baking cup {like Wilton Ruffled}. Cut a circle of cream colored paper a little larger than the baking cup, make the edge decorated with scalloped scissors. Cut “pie vents” with small scissors. Fold up the edge to look like a pie crust.

Fill with a snack like popcorn mixed with M&M’s or candy corn.
