Thanksgiving is just a stone’s throw away and it’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to do to entertain your little ones while finishing up those cranberry delicacies and green bean casseroles. Camille Styles invited us to be apart of her Thanksgiving table and we more than delighted to share this simple and fun turkey DIY. You can find a template and the DIY on her site.

Use these turkeys to adorn kids cups for each place setting around the table. House a few writing utensil inside while they wait for the other turkey to be carved.

Then pair them with few downloadable placements for the perfect Thanksgiving table setting. Just click on the images below to download. If you don’t have a large format printer just take these to your local copy story and have them print out enough for your table.

Little ones can draw, sketch and express their gratitude on these place mats, giving you a bit more free hands to take care of that pumpkin pie. And you’ll be tickled and warmed at what their little hearts come up with.

And don’t just save these for the kids. Print them on fabric for some great adult place mats as well!
