We are getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner by making some handmade place cards for the dining table. The kids love to help get things all ready and had a blast crafting with watercolors to create festive Thanksgiving place cards. Your guests are going to love seeing the handmade touch at the table!

Cut your watercolor paper down to size, large enough to fold into a paper tent. These can be any size to fit your table. Ours are cut 3x6 inches. Fold them in half to create the card.
Set up your water coloring station with a cup of water and newspaper. Set out your paint and brushes.
Open up your card, laying it flat to paint, and get started creating a fall scene. The kids can get creative with these cards creating anything for fall. We made turkeys, pie, leaves, and fall trees.
Once the cards are finished, let them dry for a few hours.
With a marker or crayons, write the names of all the people coming to dinner.
Fold the cards back up and place them on the Thanksgiving dinner table!
