Edible Thanksgiving Place Cards for the Kids Table

Elegant Monogram Graham Crackers

It only takes three ingredients to make these elegant and edible Thanksgiving place cards for kids.

Ingredients:

One chocolate covered Graham cracker cookie per guest

Tube of vanilla (off-white) decorating frosting

One small strand of red shoestring licorice

How to Make:

With a gentle touch and a precise hand, poke a hole in the graham cracker about a half an inch from the top, if the cracker is vertical. Place it on a clean cutting board not used to cut raw meat. Make a wide enough hole for a strand of shoestring licorice to fit. Start by making a tiny hole using a sharp skewer or the end of a knife. Once the end of the skewer or the knife tip has penetrated the cracker slowly rotate it in a circle to make a hole.

Thread a piece of shoestring licorice through the hole.

For each guest, write the first letter of their name as fancy as you can on the chocolate covered graham cracker.

Plymouth Rock Place Card for the Thanksgiving Kids' Table

Ingredients:

One box cake mix

One container vanilla frosting

Black food coloring (or red and green)

Crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate wafer cookies

One plate for each guest

Toothpick

Small triangle-shaped piece of paper

Some imagination

How to Make:

Make a batch of cupcakes, in any flavor. Let the cupcakes cool completely. Scoop the frosting into a bowl. Add a drop of black food coloring, or add equal amounts of red and green food coloring. Start with only a couple of drops. The goal is to create a frosting which looks like rock, so it can be light brown colored or grayish. The final color may be affected by the color of the original frosting.
