Dress up the kids table at Thanksgiving (or even the grown ups table) with this cute and fun Turkey Utensil Pocket craft.  They really add some fun color to your holiday table. This is a great Thanksgiving craft to spread out and do with the kids. You can help your kids with the simple sewing and let them do the rest in an assembly line fashion.  Label the DIY Thanksgiving cutlery holders with names and they can instead of place cards.  Learning to set the table with pride is a great experience for kids.

Cut ¼” slices off cork for heads.
