Cool to Do
Turkey Tips Place Cards
Thanksgiving is a good time to give thanks for all we have and wish each other health and peace.

This Month's Cool Activity:
It's also a good time to share handy dandy (no pun intended) safety tips with those we love. A good way to do that is to put tips on your dinner place cards.

Cool to Do

 

My friends and I have already started making safety place cards for the dinner table!

Here's how to make your own Turkey Tips place cards:
You'll need crayons or markers, glitter, scissors, construction paper cut 4" x 3", 8 1/2 " x 11" paper.

  1. Make a place card by folding the smaller paper in half so it measures 4 x 1 1/2 " (ask a grown-up to help).
  2. Place one hand (or in my case, paw) on the larger piece of paper and trace around your hand, fingers and thumb.
  3. Cut out your hand tracing. It should look like a turkey!
  4. Color or paint the fingers to make colorful feathers. (Don't forget to put an eye on the thumb.)
  5. Glue your turkey to the front of each place card.
  6. Ask a grown-up to give you all the guests' names who will be at your Thanksgiving dinner so you can make a place card for everyone. Don't forget to make one for yourself!
  7. Write the name of each guest on the turkey.
  8. Write a safety message on each place card. Check out News Flash for holiday safety tips.
  9. On Thanksgiving, place each card where the host would like each guest to sit.
  10. After dinner you can ask each guest to open the card and read their safety message.
