Thirty days of Thankfulness. It's November and a lot of folks are posting what they are thankful for each day. I did this last year and had a blast with it so am doing it again this year. There is an awesome correlation of how life is when you have something to be thankful for in the day.
I wanted my family to be a part of it this year. So we made thankful leaves.
What you'll need:
Crayons
String
Duct Tape
Pen
Paper
Scissors
Steps:
-To create the thankful leaves you can either find a pattern. I used Rebecca Ludens' leaf sketch or have the kiddos draw them.
***You can do this on colored or white paper. We did white so that we could color in the leaves.
-Printed or drawn cut them out.
-With a hole punch punch one hole in the base of the leaves.
***Once we had our leaves made, keep them in a spot that everyone can get to. I've been keeping ours in a mason jar.
-String your string wherever you'd like your thankful leaves to be displayed.
-Tape the ends with duck tape or masking tape
Each day you need to pull out a thankful leaf and write what you are thankful for and color it. Once you have that done, take one end of the string and slide your leaf on.
Ta-dah! Thankful leaves!!!
It's so awesome to watch what the boys are thankful for.
Louis on one of his days said that he was thankful for Samual. Samual was so touched by this that he cried "happy" tears. It's a great project for everyone in the family.
