Want to create your own Thanksgiving placemats in a simple way? Follow these steps....

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Non toxic paint (orange, brown, yellow and red)
  • Construction paper
  • Creative mind
  • Craft scissors
  • Laminating supplies
  • Poems of your own (optional)
  • Glue
  1. Step 1

    Get all of the materials needed to start the project. Take construction paper and place flat on table and cut into shape of a placemat if paper isn’t sized.

  2. Step 2

    Put the Thanksgiving inspired paint into separate trays. Place your child’s hand in the paint color of their choice

  3. Step 3

    Once you’ve done this, place their hands flat on the construction paper making sure to leave a space in between.

  4. Step 4

    Get real creative with a special thanksgiving poems you’ve created or maybe found online.

  5. Step 5

    Type it up so it can look neat if your handwriting isn’t so great. Glue the poem in the space that you left available between your child’s hands.

  6. Step 6

    Decorate with any extra designs you want. Let it dry for a couple of hours. When dry, laminate so you may hold onto this memory forever.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat this with every family member including yourself.
