Chris said this about planning the event- ”For our Give Thanks play date, I set up the kids table outdoors since the weather here in Phoenix is very mild during Fall. I purchased a few pumpkins to use as center pieces and embellished them using silk flowers, ribbons and painted polkadots. Using the coordinated paper and turkey icons from the set, I made cute crayon holders using TP roll that was placed beside each place setting along with an activity sheet from the printable set. I also used the coordinated paper as placemats, the larger turkey icons from the set were used to decorated the back of their chairs.

The dessert table was as colorful and fun as the kids table. Using fabric that coordinated with the printable, I created the backdrop by covering a piece of foam board and added the Happy Thanksgiving banner. An orange polkadot fabric was used as a tablecloth. The kids enjoyed some yummy cake pops, sugar cookies, trail mix, cupcakes and turkey sandwiches.

At the craft station, kids made turkey hats using the coordinated paper from the printable, painted wooden indian masks, made cute turkey decorations and colored the turkey printable also from the set.

Favors were displayed on an old kid’s fence decorated with color coordinated paper bunting.

The kids had so much fun. If you have good weather in late fall, staging this party outdoors might be a fun way to do a kids’ table at your Thanksgiving dinner.”

Modern Kid-Friendly Thanksgiving Party + Table

Up next on KPI, a darling MODERN KID-FRIENDLY THANKSGIVING PARTY + TABLE submitted by Paula of Frog Prince Paperie! There are so many fabulous Thanksgiving decorating ideas here! Everything is just adorable! You can’t beat the printable set for just $10, too!

Paula said this about planning the party- “In years past, I’ve made a “kids’ table” for the children to sit at apart from the adults; banishing the kids to their own space works out well when there’s a big crowd gathering to eat. This year for a million reasons, it will be just my nuclear family for dinner. I imagine that we aren’t the only ones not seating for twenty, so I created some inspiration for those wanting a kid-friendly table that appeals to adults as well.

Never underestimate what you can do with a few yards of inexpensive fabric. While most of the supplies for our table came from my (rather extensive) fabric pile, I did pick up brown polka dot and brown thatch fabric on sale and created a backdrop by covering a canvas and a quick no-sew runner by ironing the hems.

Each place at the table was set with a fun plate topped with an orange napkin. The napkin was wrapped in burlap ribbon for texture and a thin orange satin ribbon for contrast. Our “We are so thankful” printables were a great accent. Silverware in turkey branded holders were a fun and colorful addition. Finishing the place settings were the busy boxes for the kids to play with and place cards. The place cards are a must have for kid tables – they love seeing their names and it an easy thing to do to make them feel extra special.

Occupied kids are happy kids. Once dinner is done, let them reach for a “busy box” at their place setting. We filled ours with crayons, playdough, and a Thanksgiving thankful turkey craft. It’s just enough to give them somthing to do while finishing dinner as a family.

Something new we tried this year (since my oldest can now read) were conversation starters. There were giggles all around at the table, so we’ve declared them a hit!

You can buy the printables seen in this party in our Etsy shop for just $10!”

Lauren said this about planning the party- “Fall is one of my favorite times of year. We have an amazing pumpkin patch in our area by the name of The Belue Place Pumpkin Patch. This weekend was their last full week in business so I decided to host a play date with my wonderful photographer/friend Danielle and her adorable little girl Charlie. I brought my oldest son, Kal-El along to join in on the fun! SwishDesigns created the adorable printables used for for this Fall Harvest themed play date and Hot Mama’s Bakery made all the yummy fall treats that the children snacked on.”
