Thanksgiving is right around the corner bringing with it food, family, football and more food. It is a time to reflect on what we are thankful for by slowing down to appreciate it all. One way to slow down and enjoy the pre-Thanksgiving prep is to get the family involved making decorations and fun edible projects.
Create a Festive Table
Here are some fun ideas to personalize your Thanksgiving table decorations and enjoy some family time.
Nature Placemats
This great activity gets everyone outside for a little bit to collect nature items to put on the placemats. If your kids still want to do more once the handprint and leaves are finished, give them some crayons and have them color the placemats. For complete directions, visit Momma’s Fun World.
Napkin Rings
Made from toilet paper/paper towel rolls and construction paper, these adorable napkin rings are easy to make and sure to a hit with your Thanksgiving guests. Visit Kitchen Counter Chronicles for step-by-step instructions.
