THANKSGIVING TABLSCAPE JUST FOR KIDS

The kiddie table-the name evokes images of card tables and folding chairs, a temporary way station for kids before they're old enough to graduate to the "big table". Not anymore. You can create a fun and festive table in no time with traditional decorative elements and fun crafts--a stylish destination that might even evoke a longing glance or two from guests at the "big table."

Start the meal with a Mayflower mocktail, a yummy blend of cranberry and grape juice topped with lemon-lime soda. 

Place a whimsical Pilgram Hat filled with crudite or popcorn at each place setting for muching before the turkey arrives. 

The faux wood placemats are a stylish alternative to a tablecloth and kids can busy themselves coloring it. 

Rustic colored pencils add to the Thanksgiving theme

Add a plate of nutterbutter cupcakes dressed as Tom the turkey for dessert and you have a party!
