It's craft time, ladies.

I was just getting ready to do this craft with my boys and I thought I'd share with my blogging friends. This is such a simple, fun craft that the kids love to do and your Thanksgiving guests will be amazed! We do this every year and it's always a hit.

Pumpkin Pie Placecards!!

Here are the instructions:

Buy the paper plates that have the rim around the outside. You can make 4 pieces of "pie" per plate. Unless you want to be skimpy- we like big pieces in our family!

Paint the inside dark orange and the rim brown, to resemble the crust. Let the kids go to town!
*Note: For the pumpkin part, I like to mix the orange with a little bit of brown to make the orange a little deeper.

After the paint dries, cut up your delicious pie. Then write the name of each guest on the crust of the pie.

Last, tear a cotton ball in half and puff it up a little bit. Then glue it to the pie to resemble whipped cream.

You're done- now wasn't that fun??

That is too stinkin' cute. I'll have to try with my kids. Yes, they're older but they still love crafts. I loved your kids pictures on Elizabeth's blog by the way...your babies are BEAUTIFUL!
