Thanksgiving 2011 {kids table}

I say this every year but, I can't believe Thanksgiving is already here!!!  My family loves this holiday and the simple tradtions we started when our kids were toddlers.  My hubby is an amazing cook so, he is our turkey guy.  Turkey one makes his famous apple pie each year and Turkey two decorates the table (and snaps the green beans in half.)  I was looking through Pinterest for table setting ideas and found some great options for a kids table.  Last year we made the paper bag turkey as seen here and year before last we had indian headbands as seen here so, time for something different and fun!

Thanksgiving 2010...the Kids Table

We have some extra guest coming this year so, I'm breaking out the kids table.  I love to do something different each year.  While I was looking for new ideas I found this Popcorn Turkey over at One Charming Party.  I think the kids will enjoy having their own turkey to carve (plastic knives will do.)  I love how they put it on its own platter and added the garnish.  So creative!

Still love this!  Kids and adults did too. It's Martha (of course.) Napkin rings that double as feathered headbands.

                                       



If you have a printer and t.p. rolls you can make these adorable Squirrel Favors. 

Fill them with treats or nuts. Directions here.

When all else fails and you don't need an extra project.  I love these Chocolate Turkeys from See's Candy. They look cute just sitting on the plate. ($11.55 for 3) You can buy them individually too.

Find these online or in stores.

Get the party started...

Thanksgiving is a great time to invite friends, family and neighbors over for dinner. A table full of people who might not have much in common can sometimes use an ice breaker to get the conversation rolling.  Roll these up and tie with ribbon or place flat on your place settings.  Purchase an extra bottle of wine, sparking cider or box of chocolates for the winner of the the Turkey Trivia contest.
