One thing about thanksgiving that I really like is taking the time to reflect on things you are thankful for. Sometimes appreciation or gratitude can really lift your spirit or make you happier. Sometimes just taking the time to think about the things you are so thankful for can make a difference in your life or even just the day. Have you seen the thankful trees or garlands? Well, this is a different take on getting your kids or family involved in expressing what they are thankful for.
Here’s what you need to do to create this DIY Thanksgiving printable.
1. First, download the backdrop and print off on cardstock. You can download the file here.
2. Next, you’ll need to find some leaves to print off to write on. You could also just trace out leaves on coloured cardstock and use those or you could simply just write around the printable with things you are thankful for also.
3. Once you’ve written on your leaves, cut them out and glue them to the printable.
4. Then frame and you are done – place on your mantel or in your front foyer so guests can see the things you are most thankful for.
