Thanksgiving Kids’ Table Ideas That Actually Work
Sturdy seats, crayons, nothing breakable. Small guests are still guests.
Plan for the children who are actually coming and seat the youngest close enough to a grown-up for help. Use sturdy cups, washable placemats, and a small container of crayons or paper at each place. Keep candles, breakables, sharp serving pieces, and choking hazards off this table.
