A Thanksgiving placemat is the perfect table decoration for younger children. You’ve set a special table for the adults, so why not do the same for the kids. Add some fun to the Kids’ Thanksgiving Table with these Printable Thanksgiving placemat and coloring page will give kids something to do before the meal or between courses.
This doesn’t have to be just for the kids. Print out a place setting for the adults as well! In addition to setting up an activity for the kids, this is a great tool for teaching children how to set the table. Simple and basic place setting that shows where to place the silverware, plate, cup and napkin. Heck I know a few adults that could benefit from this knowledge.
Add a printable page for a Thanksgiving turkey that they can color. Also see Printable Custom Napkin Rings for Thanksgiving.
What You Will Need for the Placemat
- Scissors
- Glue – optional
- Crayons or markers
- Colored printer paper – or white will work
- Templates for the place mat left side, right side and Happy Thanksgiving Turkey design center coloring page.
Start by printing out the templates for left side, right side and Happy Thanksgiving Turkey design center. The left and right sides of the placemat can be printed on a fall color of construction paper. The center circle should be printed on white printer paper.
You can either cut or overlap the left and right sides of the placemat so that the circle is joined in the center. Tape or glue these two papers together.
Children can cut out the Happy Thanksgiving circle that will be used as a coloring page for the decorative center. It is optional to tape or glue the turkey image over the circle section for the plate on the placemat. Children may want to remove the circle before putting their Thanksgiving meal on top of it.
