Last year I shared a plethora of Thanksgiving traditions. The response was huge because these ideas were different from the typical ideas. These are ideas that move beyond a craft to helping you leave a legacy with your children.
Instead of simply reposting all of these ideas, here are the links. Click to find out more!
Chain of Praise – Creating a paper chain of things you are thankful.
A book to introduce the true meaning of Thanksgiving and being thankful. We use this book to introduce whatever activities we are doing as a family.
