There’s nothing more charming at a family dinner table than kid-made decorations! Not only are these Watercolor Place Cards darling decor for your Thanksgiving table, they are the perfect craft to make with the kids while the turkey is cooking in the oven!
Watercolor Place Cards for Thanksgiving
To help prep for our Thanksgiving dinner, we’re making a few festive place cards for the holiday table. These were fun to make, with a few different items to watercolor, representing Thanksgiving.
Watercolor Place Cards
Supplies:
- watercolor paper or heavy card stock
- watercolor paints
- black marker
- scissors
We all took turns choosing either pie, turkey dinner, leaves, and fall trees. I love how the colors on the trees blended together, much like what we see outside our window with our backyard trees!
