garland of gratitude
Love this idea for Thanksgiving. It’d be great to do with your kids throughout the month, or create one with your family & friends on Thanksgiving day.
| 1. | Draw leaf shapes on colored construction paper, or download leaf templates and then trace on to colored construction paper. |
| 2. |
Lay the paper on a covered work surface, then spray water over both sides so the whole surface is damp. Crumple the paper into a loose ball, flatten it out, and let it dry completely (which takes a few hours). |
| 3. | Next, cut out the leaves and write down things you are grateful for. |
| 4. |
Finally, make a garland by folding the stems over a length of string and taping them in place. Drape them from a sideboard, along a mantel, or from the top of a doorway.
