Super Easy, Super Cute Thanksgiving Craft

Thanksgiving Napkin Ring
This is a super easy, super cute and inexpensive craft for toddlers & school age children

What you will need:

• scissors
• construction paper
• tape
• glue
• crayons/markers
• things to glue onto the construction paper

My kids choose feathers & acorns to decorate thier napkin rings with – to keep with a Thanksgiving theme. Collecting acorns outside was fun, kept my little ones busy for awhile and I think it excited my daughter even more about making the craft because she found the “decorations” herself. ( Of course if using acorns- make sure the person you are making the napkin ring for doesn’t have a nut allergy or isn’t too young that if the acorn were to come off the napkin ring- it could be a choking hazard)

Step 1: Cut the constuction paper into strips ( I cut mine 2 inches wide by 4 inches long, but wrap your undecorated paper stip around your napkin to check the length & width- linen napkins may require a longer strip of paper. )

Step 2: Let the kiddos decorate the construction paper strips. glue on feathers, acorns, photos, pictures from magazines or draw and color pictures with crayons or markers. Stickers would also work for this project.. have fun, be creative.

Ask you children to think about the specific family member they are creating the napkin holder for as they decorate. If “Aunt Mary” likes pink they can make a special pink creation for her. If Dad or Grandpa love football – maybe throw on a football sticker or two.

Step 3: Let your masterpiece dry over night

Step 4: Once dry fold the ends of the paper strip so they meet and tape to secure in place.

Wha-lah.. you have a custom made napkin holder sure to jazz up your Thanksgiving table.
