The kids’ table can be the most decorated one in the house, as long as nothing is precious or tippy.

Ideas to try

  • Paper turkeys at each place, which double as an activity.
  • A short paper runner they coloured the day before.
  • Cups that are not glass.
  • One low pumpkin as the centre, not candles.
  • Crayons in a jar so waiting for food is part of the plan.
  • Place cards they made themselves.

Want the mess to stay at the studio? Open Studio in Milton is a drop-in hour for this kind of making. Weekend sessions are on the events page.
