Our Thankful Tree

One of my favorite parts of this family activity is finding out all the creative things my kids are thankful for.

Asher drew a roller coaster and the letter A
Meagan listed “bags” because they can help you carry things
And Emily included “toothpaste, because it makes your teeth clean”

I was happy to see that friends and family made it onto leaves  too 🙂

I cut the tree out of brown packing paper and glued it to the wall with a flour-water paste.  Then the leaves were just put up with tape.  It will all be easy to take down when we’re done, though I expect we’ll add to is some more before Thanksgiving comes.  The banner is one I made a couple of years ago.  

And remember, now’s the time to run out to get fall flowers on clearance so you can make these adorable turkeys for dinner next week!
