Holidays around our house are often filled with a crowd of people and lots of different ages.  It’s easiest to divide the guests up and have an adult table and a kids table.  I love decorating both tables with different themes and I always think it’s fun to make the kids table a bit interactive with an activity or two, full of bright colors and festive holiday touches, and a place where a whole lot of fun can happen for the youngest guests.  I gathered up some of my favorite kids table ideas in the slideshow below and I’m looking forward to incorporating a few of these fun ideas in our home this year.  Take a peek and then let me know what fun touches you’ve added to the kids holiday table.  Leave a comment here or share a photo with us on the Dukes and Duchesses facebook page!

12 creative ideas for the kids table at thanksgiving

Plain white plates can be turned into cute DIY turkey plates with a few simple craft supplies and edible markers.

DIY turkey fry boxes are perfect for holding crayons or small pre-dinner snacks to tide little ones over until dinner time.

Place cards that are both cute and edible are always fun and these chocolate wishbone lollipop place cards are perfect for Thanksgiving.

Keeping the kids occupied at their table helps the adults have more fun at the big table and these crayon turkeys are the perfect way to keep the kiddos entertained.  The crayons can be replaced and this cute DIY can be used year after year.

Balloons are always festive and these DIY Thanksgiving balloons are the best.  I love the non-traditional colors and the fun text.

Give kids a little history with these Mayflower place cards.  The boats could even be filled with candy for a fun extra touch.

I love the simple look of kraft paper, especially for Thanksgiving, and these Thanksgiving table printables, with black designs on kraft paper, are perfect.  And how cute are those upcycled cork turkeys?

There’s definitely a crayon theme for kids’ tables and storing supplies in this cookie jar crayon jar keeps them out of the way and also provides a cute centerpiece idea.

If you prefer giving each child their own box of crayons, place them in pilgrim treat boxes to carry out the Thanksgiving theme.

These personalized placemats, designed on kraft paper, are so simple.  You can make them ahead of time or let kids design their own placemats before or during dinner.

Word search place cards provide a super cute place setting and an activity all in one.  And the rustic pencil is the perfect finishing touch!
