Thankful Activity

Step 1

Paint your wooden sign pieces from the Autumn Wood Signs Kit. Keep the largest pumpkin a solid color for later steps.

Step 2

Take your cardboard box and cut out a hole on one side

Step 3

Cover your cardboard box with craft paper.

Step 4 

Decorate your box however you’d like. We chose to paint a Fall themed plaid pattern.

Step 5

Glue your Thankful wood sign and a wood pumpkin atop your box. Feel free to add any sticker gems to add some more pizazz 

Step 6

Print out this printable and cut out one card for each guest at your table. Have each guest fill out a card before Thanksgiving dinner and place in the box. After dinner take turns reading each card guessing who wrote which card.

Wooden Pumpkin Menu

Step 1

Take your blank pumpkin and write down the Thanksgiving dinner menu. 

Step 2

Take your last wooden pumpkin and glue it side by side to your pumpkin menu. This helps them stand upright on the Thanksgiving tabke.

Leaf Place Cards 

Step 1

Take your felt or construction paper and cut out a leaf shape. Cut out enough for each table setting

Step 2

Write each guests name on a leaf.

Step 3

Cut a fuzzy stick slightly longer than the length of your felt leaf and glue on the back of your felt leaf.

Step 4

Decorate each felt leaf with any extra sticky gems for a personalized touch.

That’s it! Place your finished crafts on the Thanksgiving dinner table for some extra decoration and crafty fun this turkey day.
