I have seen quite a few cute Thanksgiving place mats floating around and wanted to make one too! I found a place mat template ( I liked the formal placement of the fork, knife and spoon) and then added the "Happy Thanksgiving 2010" text for each child to practice letter writing. I wanted to incorporate the traditional hand turkey and then I wrote what each person was grateful for at the bottom. I laminated the cardstock place mat and then sent them home with the child!
I think this was one of the better keepsake projects
we have done! If you would like a copy just let me know what your email address is...
