LAST MINUTE THANKSGIVING KIDS TABLE
When my family celebrates Thanksgiving it is like a scene from the Waltons. As our family expands we have kids and family in all ages and stages! We love it! But I also like to have ideas for the young cousins who are not old enough for a cocktail to get them through awkward conversations or boredom. Funny conversation starters get everyone talking and laughing!
Let’s go!
Since our kitchen remodel we usually host Thanksgiving, but this year I want to add inexpensive ways to entertain the elementary to high school crowd.
IDEAS FOR A THANKSGIVING
The key to a kids’ table is for the table not to scream kids table. So this year I am including some of these ideas for everyone.
TIPS
Did you know that the paint section at Home Depot is where I found 12″ width brown paper rolls. It is advertised to cover baseboards, but the 12″ width is perfect for table seating.
THE YOUNGINS’
- Crayons Who doesn’t love a fresh box of Crayola crayons?
- When I shared these kids’ table ideas I shared these free Crayola coloring sheets
- I love to cover a table with this brown paper because brown is a Thanksgiving color and it makes for easy cleanup!
- And, coloring is very relaxing. If someone starts talking about one of the “don’t talk about subjects” just turn them off and pass them a Crayola box.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family and each other. Lean into the good (and the funny.
Laura this is such a brilliant idea. I’m saving it. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away. Happy Weekend.
It is so fun! And it works with all ages and stages- even my 91 year old FIL has an iphone!
