Thanksgiving printable set from Ollibird including signs, coloring placemats and more

Recently, Liz talked about making holiday tables fun for kids, and I agree! In fact, you can set your entire table with a family-friendly Thanksgiving printable set including a table covering, coloring pages, placemats, and napkin pouches all designed by our friends Mike and Alma Loveland of Ollibird. I love that it looks festive as is, but the pages will really come to life when your guests, young and old, add their own creative touches to it.  ($8 for PDF file; larger items can be printed at printing shop)

 

Free Thanksgiving printable placecards from Paper & Pigtails

Such a pretty way to assign seating for Thanksgiving, these delicate and customizable printable Thanksgiving place cards  from Paper & Pigtails would look nice as is, or tuck them into a small twig wreath for a little contrast.  UPDATE: Unfortunately these place cards are no longer available.

Free Thanksgiving Printable poster that the whole family can sign

We adored Confetti Sunshine’s printable Father’s Day poster, and I know my kids would love to write all over this printable Thanksgiving poster. If you make it extra-large, then there’s room for everyone to jot down all they are thankful for this Thanksgiving. UPDATE: Unfortunately, this site is down and we don’t think the free download for the poster any more. Sad face.

Free Thanksgiving printable: Wee Society Thanks Book for preschoolers to color

One more that’s perfect for little scribblers, Wee Society’s printable My Thanks Book is a free download that would also make a great day-before-Thanksgiving project in preschool classrooms.
