A landscape placemat of puzzles for the kids' table: a maze (help the turkey find the pie), an 8 × 8 word search with 6 Thanksgiving words going across and down, each with a picture beside it (turkey, pie, pear, apple, leaf, acorn), and a little I spy to count. The answers are on page 2 of the PDF, and "Show solution" shows them on screen.

Questions about the placemats

How do I print a placemat?

Download the US Letter or A4 PDF and print it at 100% (actual size). It prints landscape on one sheet. For a bigger placemat, print the Letter PDF on 11 × 17 in (tabloid) or the A4 PDF on A3 with "fit to page".

Is there an answer key?

The activity placemats have one: page 2 of the PDF shows the maze route, the words in the word search and the I spy counts. On screen, press "Show solution". The colour-and-draw placemats have nothing to check.

What ages are they for?

The colour-and-draw placemats suit ages 3 to 8 (little ones can colour and play tic-tac-toe with a grown-up). The activity placemats suit ages 5 to 9: the word search goes across and down, with a picture beside every word.
