The turkey's in and they're asking what to do. This page gives them a job at their seat: find 10 things hiding in a feast picture, then help the turkey find the pie. Print it in black and white tonight.

A Free Thanksgiving Placemat That Keeps Kids at the Table While You Cook

Who it's for: kids who need a job at the table while you finish cooking. Kids who can hold a crayon can circle and draw the maze line. It's screen-free.

How to use it

  1. Print the page. Black and white is fine.
  2. Set it at their seat with a crayon or a pencil.
  3. Spot It at the Table: they circle all 10 things hiding in the feast picture: a turkey, a pie, an ear of corn, a pumpkin, an apple, a leaf, a candle, a cup, a fork and a napkin.
  4. The maze: they draw a line from the turkey to the pie without crossing a wall.
