Thanksgiving Craft: Turkey Place Cards for the Kids

Thanksgiving place cards for kids

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! I’ve been looking forward to the official start of the holiday season for the longest time, but didn’t realize it would creep up on us so soon!

To make the holiday a little more festive and keep the little ones entertained at the table, I decided to make Thanksgiving place cards using the plethora of paper towel rolls I always seem to accumulate at home.  I got the inspiration for the turkey fan feathers from another turkey craft I found online but used black construction paper and a white crayon to make the names pop a bit more at the table.

Material

  • Paper towel rolls
  • Construction paper (red, orange, brown, yellow, green and black)
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Googly Eyes
  • White Crayon
  • Stapler

Here’s what I did

First I cut the paper towel rolls into small pieces to work with little hands.

I used the construction paper to both draw and cut a turkey body, beak and wattle. After I attached the body to the roll, I then glued on the remaining parts and added googley eyes.

folding paperFor the turkey feathers, I folded one piece of paper in half vertically and proceeded to fold into a fan. I did this three times in green, red and orange. I used a stapler to attach the three and place it inside the paper roll.

Finally, I cut out small rectangles and wrote out names in white crayon for a nice contrast.
