Giving Thanks Tree Activity

This Giving Thanks Tree Activity is a wonderful way to get your kids to realize the things that they need to give thanks for.

- At the beginning of the month of November, get a branch that could look like a small tree and place it in a pot of soil.

- Cut out a bunch of leaf shaped papers and place them in a small basket by the tree.

- Throughout the month of November anytime someone in the house thinks of something they are thankful for the write that thing on the one of the leaves and then hangs it on the tree.

- On Thanksgiving take all of the leaves off the tree and read them either before or after dinner to everyone.

It's a nice activity that helps everyone realize there are many things to be thankful for.
