From the classroom to the dinner table
One idea you might want to try if you are using this activity for a classroom, daycare, or church function would be to have the kids decorate their placemat and then hang them on the wall as posters, two or three weeks prior to Thanksgiving. Right before you send the kids home for their Thanksgiving dinner with their families, give them their Gratitude Placemats to take with them to use as their place setting at home.![](https://kidscraftsblog.hyglossproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/gratitude-placemat-materials2-1.jpg)
We hope that you enjoy this craft idea! Stay tuned for additional holiday craft ideas to come!
