These cute placemats can be made out of construction paper or foam sheets in fall colors. All you need to do is cut the foam sheets or paper into strips and then let them start weaving them together. You can also cut shapes out to add if you want them more fancy.

Kids love making things that can be enjoyed and admired by everyone at family gatherings. Placemats are the perfect thing for kids. Everyone will be able to see what they made and even the most crowded table has room for placemats.

This cute idea can be done by young kids or older ones. The idea is to take raw corn and break them into small pieces. They can then be rolled in paper plates full of paint. Younger kids can use normal paints and plain paper or construction paper. Older kids can use fabric paints and real fabric or ready made placemats. Then the placemats can be saved for many years to come.

Fall colors would be great for Thanksgiving. You can even make stripes in two different directions to make it look like a woven design.
