Make Thanksgiving Place Cards

What you need:

Stiff paper (heavy stationary or poster board)
Pen
Scissors
Hole puncher
List of names of all your guests
Ribbon or raffia (which ever color works best for your table setting)
Pieces of fruit with a stem or a mini-pumpkin -- one for each guest.

What you do:

1. Pick a shape to trace on the card stock -- one for every guest at the table.

2. Cut out the shape and, if necessary, lightly draw a pencil line on the front and a few lines on the back of the card, using a ruler.

3. If your child is old enough to write, have them write the name of the guest on the front. On the back, write a personal thanks to that person. (The personal thanks may be something to come up with as a family.) Erase the pencil lines front and back.

4. Punch a hole in the corner of the card and, using ribbon or raffia, attach it to a piece of fruit (like a pear) or a mini pumpkin, making sure the name is facing up. Put a place card at every place setting.

5. Your guests will feel very special and appreciated. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
