Hi everyone! My name is Holly and I'm from elevencupcakes. I am so excited to be on ISLY today (one of my favorite blogs!). We have been thinking up some fun ideas for a kids Thanksgiving table for the past few weeks and I am super excited to be sharing how to make this 'Thankful Box' with you today. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving Kids' Table: Thankful Box
Thanksgiving is a great time to remember all that we are thankful for. We made these simple 'thankful boxes' for each child and had them at their table. While they wait for dinner to start, kids can write, draw, and remember all that they are thankful for this year.

- Altoid tin
- white spray paint
- 3"x10" strip of white paper (fold 3"x2")
- scrap paper
- markers
Spray paint the altoid tin white. You may need to do a few coats to cover it completely. Take the 3"x10" piece of paper and fold it over 2" back and forth, so that you make an accordion. Decorate the white paper with scrap paper and stickers. Once the altoid tin is dry, tape one end of the accordion paper to the bottom of the tin. Decorate the outside of the tin with scraps of paper. We printed the word 'thankful' to attach to the front as well. Put out markers and pens to kids can write and draw all the things they are thankful for.
We also made a 'Thankful centerpiece' for the main table.
