Watercolor Thanksgiving Place Cards
    • Watercolor paper

    • Watercolor paint and brushes

    • Water cup and newspaper

    • Scissors or paper cutter

    • Marker or crayons

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!
