Creating a Family Gratitude Tree: An Activity for the Whole Family!
A fun at-home activity for families to enjoy this November is creating a gratitude tree! Start by gathering a few branches from your yard or a local park and place them in a vase or jar. Then, cut out colorful leaves from construction paper or recycled materials, and have each family member write something they’re thankful for on their leaf. As you add the leaves to the branches, you’ll create a beautiful centerpiece that sparks conversations about gratitude. This activity not only creates a sense of appreciation but also provides a lovely decoration for your home throughout the Thanksgiving season. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on the positive moments in your lives together!
