Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids

The way we see it through, encouraging your kids to slow down, and craft can also be a wonderfully relevant nod to the themes of gratitude, being thankful, and knowing how blessed you are.

Pumpkin Mason Jars

Make the most out of empty mason jars (or any glass jars, really) by painting them in shades of orange and topping them with a stem and leaves.

Wall of Blessings

Before you get out the Christmas advent calendar, try this day-counting ritual. Instead of giving gifts (December will be here soon!), ask kids to write down something they’re grateful for each day.
