Crafting with Kids: Our Thankful Tree

Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey Everyone!

I’ve got a fun project for you today, perfect for the month of November and great for kids!  We always talk about what we are thankful for every Thanksgiving, like so many families do.  This year I wanted to make a Thankful Tree with my kids, so that we could sit down and work on a project to reinforce gratefulness and talk about what we are thankful for specifically.  My kids, especially my 6 year old, really understood what we were doing and enjoy looking at our tree everyday.  Check out the video below for some fun moments with my kids and the full tutorial!

 

 

Materials:

A large jar

Branches from a craft store or yard

Decorative branches/embellishments (optional)

Tags of paper with a hole punched

Twine (ribbon, string or yarn is great too!)

Sharpie or pen

metallic washi tape (optional)

Burlap Ribbon or wide wired ribbon for bow

                         

 

I couldn’t decide what photo I liked best of my kids.  Both photos show my kids personalities in different ways 😉

 

 

I hope this video gives you some ideas on how you can make this craft your own and do this with your family.

Big Thank You to my BFF for letting me film in her dining room 😉
