Give the kids table something to do
Turkeys, acorns and harvest pies to paint while the bird rests. Keeps small hands busy for a solid forty minutes, which in Thanksgiving time is a miracle.
Ornaments they'll hang for twenty years
Snowmen, stars and ornaments with a hanging loop cast right in. Paint them at the party, hang them on the tree, argue about them every December after.
Eight nights, one dreidel each
Plaster dreidels to paint in blue, white and silver on the first night. They spin, they stand on the table, and they come out again every year.

Plaster footballs painted in team colours while the grown-ups watch the game. The kids stay busy through kickoff, halftime and overtime, and everyone leaves with a souvenir.
Hearts they'll actually keep

A pot of gold at the end of the table
A pot of gold and a handful of shamrocks to paint in every shade of green. Easy enough for little hands, and nobody has to wear the green glitter hat.
Eggs that don't crack or go off
Plaster eggs, bunnies and chicks in soft spring pastels. Better than dyeing real eggs: nobody finds one behind the couch in July.
A fiesta table with something to make
Little cactus planters painted in bright fiesta colours for the backyard party. Tuck a succulent inside and it becomes the favor.
A thank-you that won't end up in a drawer
A pencil planter the kids paint for their teacher. Pop a succulent or a few pens inside and it earns a permanent spot on the desk.
A vase she'll put real flowers in
Bud vases painted at brunch, handed over with a single stem inside. It beats another candle, and it's the one gift she'll keep on the windowsill.

Something to do before the fireworks
Plaster stars in soft red, white and denim blue for the backyard table. A calm half hour for the kids before the sparklers come out.
A pencil cup for the first day
An apple pencil cup for a new desk, a classroom welcome or a teacher gift. Paint it the week before school starts and the first day feels a little easier.
Pour, paint, and scare the neighbours
Plaster pumpkins, ghosts and skulls that come out of the box bright white and leave the table any colour your goblins choose. Glow paint included on select kits.

A favor guests paint at the reception
A craft table at the reception or rehearsal dinner: guests paint a tiny keepsake, write the date on the base, and take it home. The kids' table loves it most.
A party activity that doubles as the favor
Cakes, balloons, unicorns and dinosaurs. Every guest paints one at the party and takes it home, so the goody bag is already handled.

Onesie and rattle keepsakes guests paint while the gifts are opened. The parents-to-be go home with a shelf of little things made just for the baby.
