Our pumpkin pie themed kids table is sure to please everyone, especially your youngest guests! It's simple to put together with a colorful table runner and decorative pumpkin pie slices scattered down the table. A set of ceramic pumpkins covered with washi tape make an easy and eye-catching centerpiece. Each guest has a Thankful Pumpkin Pie Box Craft Kit waiting for them at their place setting. Keep kids busy before the meal by having them make these cute Pom-Pom Pumpkin Pie Slices too!
We set up our kids' table in the foyer next to our dining room. The kids get their own special space but are still close to the adults. For the adult table I stuck with a traditional brown and gold color palette for Thanksgiving, with lots of pumpkins and natural accents. Check out our Thankful and Blessed Thanksgiving table to see how we set up our Thanksgiving table for the adults.
When it comes to the kids' table, however, it is all about color and fun! The kids' table is the perfect opportunity for you to get creative with your holiday decorating. There is no doubt this table is all about the pumpkin pie! This Felt Pumpkin Pie Garland is the perfect way to set the theme for your kids' table, and comes as a simple craft kit that you can put together in minutes. You can drape it from the kids' table like I did or simply hang it on a wall nearby.
To make our table extra colorful, I rolled a simple orange polka dot table runner down the center of the table. The paper runner is reversible with a chevron print on the other side in case you prefer that pattern instead. I chose orange polka dot luncheon napkins to match the runner. For simple and kid-friendly table decor, I scattered orange yarn pom-poms and these sweet foam pumpkin pie pieces down the center of the table.
These colorful pumpkins make an eye-catching centerpiece for our pumpkin pie table and are so easy to make! Just run strips of orange and yellow patterned washi tape down the sides of this set of three ceramic pumpkins for a super quick DIY centerpiece.
Each place setting has a special pumpkin pie place card that doubles as a gratitude activity. I used this Thankful Pumpkin Pie Box Craft Kit and added each child's name to the top with white letter stickers. While they are waiting for their food, your little guests can write down what they are thankful for on each of the pie slices inside the box! Gratitude activities are a great way to involve kids in the Thanksgiving conversation. Here are nine more fun and easy gratitude activity ideas for your meal!
I kept the tableware simple and used White Elegance Premium Dinner Plates, yellow plastic forks, white paper cups and striped paper straws.
Another fun activity to keep kids entertained while they wait is to have them make these simple Pom-Pom Pumpkin Pie Slices. They are as easy as gluing three wood craft sticks together into a triangle and adding pre-made yarn pom-poms on top. You can find the step-by-step Pom-Pom Pumpkin Pie tutorial here.
Of course, it wouldn't be a pumpkin pie themed table without a slice of homemade pumpkin pie at the end of the meal! If you want to offer your guests some alternative dessert options you can try these kid-friendly pumpkin desserts: Rice Krispies Pumpkin Pie, Mini Pumpkin Pudding Pies, and Cinnamon Pumpkin Fluff.
