doing thankful things every day all month sounds overwhelming to you try this out age range if your child is old enough to make marks on a piece of paper she is old enough for this supplies large piece of paper crayons markers paint whatever you want to draw with activity put the piece of paper on the floor have everyone in the family gather around the paper and draw pictures of things they are thankful for help your children think of things announce what you are drawing if your child wants you to draw things for her then go ahead and do it when everyone is done you might want to set a time limit have everyone talk about what they drew we coupled this activity with a lesson on what it means to be thankful photo here is a photo of our masterpiece last year brayden was almost 3 5 and

for independent work i d say 2 years and up materials leaves i got fake ones at the local dollar store i ve also seen them at craft stores and wal mart craft glue not elmer s not enough sticking power cotton swabs optional large black foam sheet activity cut a large o shape out of foam this is the base of the wreath construction paper would work but it s a bit flimsy for younger children cover the top of the foam with the glue for older children 2 let them put glue on the individual leaves i showed my daughter how to stick them on i covered the wreath base with some glue and let her glue the leaves on i wanted to make sure that once the glue dried the leaves really stayed in place sort leaves by color if desired my directions were to cover the base with leaves until she couldn t see any

toddler monday november 2 2009 blessing basket i have been contemplating thanksgiving over the past few days i have decided that having thanksgiving at this time of year is a great blessing to us it is a great opportunity to reflect on all that you are thankful for then you can build up a reservoir of gratitude to fight off the greed that can creep in on you at christmas time i love the saying the best attitude is gratitude this week we are learning about blessings and being thankful we are starting a new thanksgiving tradition this year it is the blessing basket age range old enough to talk but if your child is not old enough to talk don t let that stop you and your spouse from doing this in front of your baby babies understand long before they communicate skills taught gratitude supplies strips or squares of paper pen pencil basket or some other container to hold the strips of paper activity this is how we are going to implement this each night we say a family prayer together as we kneel to pray go around in a circle and list one thing we are grateful for write each one on a piece of paper let the kids draw pictures of the item if they want to put the paper in the basket on thanksgiving read all of the many blessings you enjoy when i was in college i kept a gratitude journal each night i listed three items i was thankful for three blessings in my life at first it seemed difficult to come up with three new things each night as i did it over time however it was hard to pick just three as we focus on the blessings we have in our lives we come to recognize all that we have you see what you focus on i believe the blessing basket will be a great way to help my children develop the attitude of gratitude posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 1 comments email
