With Thanksgiving rolling around, you've probably got kids underfoot and hyper. Here is a cute idea - make custom Thanksgiving placemats.

Supplies:
Laminating sheet. (You can get packs of 10 laminating sheets that don't require a machine at any craft or office supply store but we finally bought an inexpensive one for $60)
Ribbon - any kind, any variety but festive holiday stuff around the same width seems to look best.
Markers or crayons
Blank Thanksgiving coloring pages
Double sided tape or glue stick

Instructions:
Let the kids color the coloring pages anyway they want to do it.

Cut the ribbon into strips frame/line the edges of the paper. Tape or lightly glue stick them in place.

Laminate them and lay them flat to set. And voila - you have homemade placemats for the table, ones that will help the kids feel like they contributed to the day and make cleaning up easier.
