Easy Thanksgiving Day Place Cards with Alphabits
We are a family of cereal eaters. All five of us love cereal. I could it for all three meals each day. My dad is a big cereal eater too so I grew up eating cereal.
But this time, our cereal really wasn't for eating. Instead, we got to play with our food and do a Thanksgiving Day craft. We made place cards out of the Alpha Bits letters.
Did you know that involving your child in making snacks and fun recipes with Alpha-Bits can be a bonding experience, as well as a learning moment? It really is true. My kids and I love doing crafts together. We bond and we have fun!

ALPHA BITS THANKSGIVING DAY PLACE CARDS CRAFT
We had some fun with our Alpha Bits and got to play with our food. We made place cards for everyone for our upcoming holiday gathering. This simple craft can be done with construction paper, glue sticks, paper plates and of course, Alpha Bits.
First you need to decide on a size. We cut our construction paper in half and then folded the half once again creating find a horizontal folded piece of construction paper.
Then we set out to find some letters in our cereal. I poured cereal onto four paper plates and wrote down all of the letters we needed to make our placecards. Then it took us about 10-15 minutes to find all of the letters we needed. We had to bite some shapes into pieces when we couldn't find a specific letter but they came out great! After finding the letters, we then used the glue stick on the letters rather than the paper.
You can even have some fun and put nicknames on the place cards as well.

SUPER WHY!!! This is so much fun, what a great idea! I’ll definitely have to pick up a box for my son, he will love playing with his food! 🙂
This is fabulous! I used to eat this cereal as a child, and we used it to help my brother (ADD and Dyslexic) learn his letters at mealtime. I never thought about using them as a craft! 🙂
I LOVE alphabits! They were one of my most fave cereals when I was a kid and I still love them!
Oh, so cute! I love crafts like this that are so simple; it’s nice not to have to spend half the day shopping for supplies, and then setting things up in advance. That fact that the letters are yummy Alphabits is great too – it’s a snack and a craft all in one 😉
This is such a cute idea, my kids would love doing this. Thanks for sharing.
PS we all LOVE cereal too, dry and with milk!
I remember eating Alpha Bits when I was a kid! I didn’t know that this cereal is still around. What a neat idea!
This is such a fun idea for the kid’s table at Thanksgiving.
Cute Thanksgiving Day place cards idea! We are big cereal eaters here too – I have craved it so much this pregnancy!
I totally craved cereal during all three pregnancies. I like it best for dinner, actually. I would rather have a hot breakfast and cereal for dinner.
My kids used to love Alphabits. My son loved this game the most and you should hear his vocabulary now. Cute place card idea.
We love alphabet cereal. It’s fun to make words in the bowl.
My sister did something like this when she was in elementary school, it turned out really well 🙂
My son loves Super Why!I love the idea of the Thanksgiving place cards. I wish they made this gluten free!
Great idea and a fun and tasty way for kids to practice those letters. You could do this for Thanksgiving AND Christmas!
Super fun! What a great idea for Thanksgiving, passing it along for my niece and nephews to do 🙂
Such a cute idea for placecards!!! How fun to personalize a message to your loved ones! Thanks for sharing!
What a cute idea! I’m gonna use it!
The place cards are adorable – what a great idea! I love that Alphabits contain 20g of whole grains – so important for all of us – not just kids!
i like that this cereal does not have tons of sugar (we eat lots of cereal here too, so the less sugar i can get away with the better). and this craft is so cute that i think we will do it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Cool! I haven’t had Alpha Bits in years. I am sure my son would like them, and it would be a fun learning tool to use at breakfast time!
I have liked Alpha Bits since I was a child. I like this idea of crafts. I think I will take it and use it to help my twins with their spelling words each week.
Oh no they didn’t.. My daughter is going to go nuts! She loves super why. Perfect character for alphabet soup.
Very cute idea! I’m going to pass this over to my friends with little ones as this would be a great thing to do before Turkey Day.
Using Alpha Bits to make place cards at Thanksgiving. Brilliant.
