Creating the "Forest Floor"
All woodland animals love a soft, mossy carpet of green to live on in the forest. It's easy to recreate this natural, woodsy look with a moss table runner. The runner can be hand separated and shaped to fit the length of your table. Top it off with some burlap leaves to create the look and feel of leaves falling from trees above.
Tie One On
Picking out a perfectly quick and easy Thanksgiving centerpiece is a cinch! Just tie some wired ribbon around a foam pumpkin and set it atop a wood tree slice. Voila! Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas have never been this easy!
Buckets of Fun
A cute kids' Thanksgiving table starts with buffalo plaid decor, but it's also imperative that there's plenty of fun! Green metal pails hold piles of hedgehog bouncy balls while woodland animal finger puppets are dotted throughout the forest tablescape.
Perfectly Plaid Place Settings
The place settings for this Thanksgiving table are so full of detail! Each place setting features a buffalo plaid place mat made of the softest flannel and lined with white fabric on the back. White scalloped chargers add a little touch of formality to the otherwise whimsical and casual table design. Buffalo plaid plates get happy with the addition of black cutlery tied with a fetching ribbon accent and a darling iced cookie creation.
Darling Treats to Enhance the Theme
Adorable iced cookies are a wonderful way to add edible art to a Thanksgiving table for kids. These cookies by Lucky Girl Cookies match the woodland animal theme perfectly and are a sweet bite after a big turkey dinner. The buffalo plaid place mats are set off perfectly by these bright and delectable cookies accented with some burlap leaves.
These Cups are Un-Bearably Cute
One of the most adorable and unique accents for this cute kids' Thanksgiving theme are these detailed Woodland Molded Bear Cups with Straws. They're perfect for keeping spills under control and make a lovely take-home gift. The bear faces are just darling, and sure to please the tiny tots who join you to celebrate all the things we are grateful for.
A Colorful Selection of Activities
Little hands need to stay busy while parents are celebrating at the adult table. Provide fresh crayons, woodland stampers, finger puppets, and hedgehog bouncy balls for tons of fun that can take place at a table. Here's a fun surprise; the "tablecloth" is actually made of orange fadeless paper, so kids can draw right on it!
A Free Printable Worksheet
Children attending Thanksgiving will love having so many fun activities to keep them busy at the kids' table! Crayons in buckets will come in handy when you download the free printable activity page that coordinates with our Woodland Thanksgiving theme! Kids can share what they are grateful for, help a fox find his turkey leg, complete a dot-to-dot picture and much more.
"Leaf" Some Room For Fun
With fall comes the changing color of trees. It's a perfect time for creating your own leaf rubbings. If you'd like to keep the nature in the outdoors, try these leaf rubbing plates, which are perfect for small hands. Simply peel a crayon and rub the side of it over the paper with the leaf plate below it. Each plate also has the name of the leaf image on it so kids could also learn how to identify different types of trees.
Stickers are another favorite at any kids' table; that's why we love these Fall Sticker Scenes. Kids can create their own unique designs using the blank scene pages and full sheet of fall stickers that are included. These sticker scenes have characters like owls, squirrels, pumpkins, leaves and other fall imagery.
Thanksgiving Desserts Aren't Always Pie
