 Thanksgiving Napkin Holder

Thanksgiving Napkin Holder - fun and easy for the little one to make.

Supplies: 
  1. Washable children's paint and brush
  2. Small piece of red construction paper
  3. 9" lightweight paper plates with the ruffle edges
  4. Safety scissors

  6. Tape.


Paint the plate's edges with fall colors. Let dry. Cut a 2 1/2 inch long piece from the red
construction paper. 
Round one end for the head. Make eyes with a marker and carefully
cut a beak below the eyes in a "V" shape.


When the plate is dry bend the plate at 3 1/2 inches from the front edge and the back edge.

Thanksgiving Table Favors/Place Card


Supplies:


  1. Fall colored construction paper
  2. Large tongue depressors
  3. 9 oz. paper cups
  4. Marker
  5. Safety scissors
  6. Ruler
  7. Glue


Cut cups to be about 2" tall. (I use a gold colored cup). Cut a tongue depressor in half making 2 heads. 
Cut 5 pieces of various colored construction paper that are 5 inches by 1 inch for feathers. Make one end rounded.


On half of a tongue depressor make eyes with a marker. Cut a yellow beak and glue it under eyes. Glue the tongue depressor to the cup.


Cut two wings that are 1 inch by 1 inch (make one end round) and glue them on each side of the tongue depressor (rounded end facing back)


Glue the tongue depressor to the back making them fan out. If you want, you can place a name on each one as place card and perch one in front of each table setting.


Fill cups with candy maybe candy corn, you should find it on sale now.
