The Thanksgiving Kids’ Table shouldn’t be feared. Here are some tips on how to make even the adults want to say, “I want to sit at the Kids’ dining table too!”
You always hear about the dreaded Thanksgiving kids’ table, but I like to make it special, too! I want to create a table that any adult would be honored to sit at, but make it so special that kids would proudly say “this table is just for us!” Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to teach our children about being thankful. Despite having a separate dining table for them {for ease of space & accessible height}, I want them to feel included.
I found a darling table runner that added a little fall color to the girls’ cream & pink table set. I added squirrel & owl bowls along with some irresistibly cute owl salt & pepper shakers.
Isla enjoyed talking to her owl bowl. I think these will be a favorite!
Setting the kids’ dining table took just a few minutes!
In addition to setting a fun & beautiful kids’ table for Thanksgiving, here are a few activities they’ll enjoy:
- writing thankful for cards
- let them create thank you cards – stock the table with card stock, envelopes, crayons & stamps
- print word searches & crosswords {for older children}
- read them a book { I love Let’s Be Thankful by PK Hallinan}
Do you have any favorite “thankful” books to share?
Just precious! I know the kids will enjoy will love it!

I love those little critter dishes. I kept looking at them thinking I should get some for my kids…. 😉
