Thanksgiving Kiddie Table

It’s time to gather around the table and be thankful for all the blessing we have. Why not celebrate with the kids too? This fun Thanksgiving Kiddie Table is easy to create and the kids will love helping you too!

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. This Thanksgiving Kids Table is sure to bring joy and laughter!

First I lined the table with craft paper, making it easy for the children to draw or write what they are thankful for. All of the crafts on the table are easy and kid friendly. I used X-ACTO products for the cutting, be cautious when using them around children.

Let’s gather our supplies and get started…
