A Plethora of Thanksgiving Ideas

11/04/2013 by Heidi

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.

  Memorize Psalm 100 with actions
   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.

  Kernels of Thanks – Circling the table to share thanksgiving.

  Gratitude Rolls – Hiding thanksgiving in a crescent roll.

  Thanksgiving Play – Use this book as an example for writing your own Pilgrims and Indian Thanksgiving play.

  Create personal Attitude of Gratitude charts.  Allow the child to place a sticker everything he or she demonstrated a proper attitude.

  Ideas for cute fall and Thanksgiving food!

  Turkey of Thanks – easy craft for preschoolers

Handprint Turkey  Handprint Turkey

Fall Tree Handprint Craft  Fall Handprint Tree

Table Cloth of Thanks used year after year.

Find more ideas on the ABC Jesus Loves Me Thanksgiving page.  

Tomorrow I will begin sharing new ideas including how we are changing our Chain of Blessings to match a need in our family.
