Print out some Mad Libs. Who doesn’t love a Mad Lib? The whole kids’ table will be laughing after filling out these Thanksgiving Mad Libs from How Does She.

Throw some butcher paper on the table. This is super easy and inexpensive! Grab some butcher paper or craft paper and use it as the tablecloth. Throw some crayons on the table and let the little ones go to town! I love how Project Nursery set up their kids’ table!

Set up some festive games. Grab some Jack Be Littles in orange and white and you have yourself a game of Tic-Tac-Toe like It’s Overflowing created. You could even draw the grid onto the craft paper!
