Supplies:
- Construction paper (multiple colors for leaves, trunk of tree, and background)
- Glue
- Crayons

Steps:
- Draw Tree on Construction paper
- Cut out tree
- Draw leaves on different colors of construction paper

- Write the things your child is thankful for on the leaves
- Glue leaves on trunk
- Write ” I am thankful for:” on the bottom of the paper
Have fun!

Love this craft! Always trying to find a good thanksgiving craft for our six kids!

Glad you liked it!! You must be very busy with 6 kids to create activities for!!
What a great idea for a kids Thanksgiving craft! Not only would they have a lot of fun sticking all the leaves on, they also get a chance to realize what they are grateful for. That’s the true spirit of Thanksgiving. – Great suggestion!
Jen- I am glad you enjoyed the craft! It was fun and I like emphasizing what Thanksgiving is really about! Giving Thanks and being grateful for what we have.
I like this idea. My daughter isn’t old enough to write the things, but would like sticking on the leaves. We could do more of the craft as she gets older.

That’s an awesome craft. I just love the fact that deep lessons are incorporated into it.
All the best,

Love this as well! It goes right with the spirit of Thanksgiving. I really like how there is some thought involved (rather than say making an origami of a Turkey.)
