Guess Your Seat
The hints will help!
ADDED November 19, 2009
Today's craft is a special way for your kids announce how thankful they are for each person around the Thanksgiving table. All you will need for the craft are a few pieces of Fall-colored construction paper (red, brown or yellow will work nicely), a pen, and maybe some Thanksgiving stickers if you want to be fancy.
Here is what you do. First, fold the 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper into quarters and cut. You now should have four small pieces of paper, fold each of these in half so you have a little name plate.
Next, have your kids put their thankfulness caps on and -- as a family -- think of why you are thankful for each of your guests. The reasons can be serious ("We are thankful for your wisdom") or a little bit silly ("We are thankful for your brownies.") Write a reason on each card and have the kids distribute them to the places. Just make sure your guests have fun trying to find their seats, and I am sure this will be a memorable way to start the special meal.
Have fun -- and I know Steve is not a fan of name cards at the table telling you were to sit (if you are not sure of his position on the subject here is the post). But I am really hopeful he will like this.
