STAFFORD, TX, November 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) Setting the Thanksgiving "Kids' Table" can be a challenge. Do you set it with nice dishes and cross your fingers? Do you give in and serve the kids on chintzy paper plates? Here are some ideas from KidSmartLiving.com sure to please both the stylish holiday hostess and the busiest kids this Thanksgiving.
Start with Kid-Friendly Tableware
Cleaning up broken dishes is the last thing any host wants to do during mealtime. So this year make the Thanksgiving kids' table worry-free with plastic or disposable tableware. You'll find styles available to fit a range of settings, from casual to formal. For dishes that mimic the real thing, look for melamine dinnerware. It will last year after year and offers the most ceramic-like look and feel of any plastic. Pair with colorful acrylic glasses for a festive touch. For easy cleanup, you can find better quality disposable tableware in many stores. Or go with a greener option like Bambu disposable dinnerware made of -- you guessed it, bamboo -- which is both stylish and compostable.
Capture Their Attention with the Unexpected
Make the kids' table special with fun place cards. Write children's names on mini pumpkins, silk leaves or holiday ornaments, or use something they can continue to decorate after the meal. Small toys or stuffed animals holding little name cards are good attention-grabbing options, too.
Take a Tip from Busy Restaurants
Cover the kid's table with kraft or butcher paper and let kids draw or decorate with crayons, markers, stamps and stickers before and after the meal. Or buy some holiday-themed coloring books and assemble your own restaurant-style coloring placemats, complete with a small bundle of crayons for each child.
Turn the Kid's Table into the Craft Corner
If kids are old enough to use markers and glue sticks, holiday-themed projects such as Indian headbands, turkeys, wreaths, or woven paper placemats can keep them happily occupied while you enjoy your meal. You can find precut ornament kits at any craft store, too. Or just provide construction paper, craft foam or felt so kids can make their own creations.

The federal income tax refund is considered to be your property under bankruptcy law - even if you haven't received it yet - which, unfortunately, also means that the bankruptcy trustee will consider this money as an asset in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, subject to his or her control and disposition.
