3 Ways to Include Children in Thanksgiving Prep

The holiday season is nearing, and Thanksgiving is going to kick things off in just a few short weeks. While prepping for Thanksgiving dinner is often hectic, you can incorporate the little ones and make it a memorable bonding experience. 

1. Dinner

Whether you put them in charge of washing produce or grabbing ingredients out of the refrigerator, these small but important tasks will make them feel like they have a special role in preparing Thanksgiving Dinner. 

2. Drawing Placecards

Have an artist on your hands? You can ask them to contribute this year by drawing place cards for each guest that you are expecting. Let them get creative! 

3. Decorating the Table 

While you are cooking, you can put the kids in charge of setting and decorating the table. Encourage them to scavenge for natural elements in the yard that they could incorporate, such as acorns and pinecones.
