For the first time this year, I set up a "Thanksgiving tree" to do with the kids. I was inspired by some friends of our from church who do a Thanksgiving tree every year with their kids by writing things they are grateful for on leaf cut-outs each day.
I am working through a Gratitude morning time study with the kids, and so we've made it a habit to write in these printable gratitude journals, and then we pick a few of the things we are grateful for to write on the leaf cutouts and hang on our tree. I got the tree and leaf cutouts from Hobby Lobby. The tree also will double as Christmas decor over the next month as well!
The kids have so looked forward to hanging their gratitude leaves on the tree each day, and it's been a fun way to refocus on thanking God for all His goodness to us as we approach Thanksgiving! We will definitely be doing a Thanksgiving tree again next year.
I hope you all are having a lovely start to Thanksgiving week!
That’s so cute! We do the same thing but with a big cardboard Turkey, and we glue a feather on each day with someone we’re thankful for.
