Thankful Jar
Lovely Links
What a fun family tradition to start! These lovely links are so simple that even the smallest kids can participate. Instead of counting down to a special occasion, these are used to count our blessings! Each night at dinner we come up with something that we’re thankful for as a family and add it to our link. It’s truly a stunning visual reminder of all we have to be thankful for! I think we might try to see if we can come up with enough to encircle the entire kitchen!
Roll Basket
It just doesn’t get any cuter than this for a roll basket on Thanksgiving! With nothing but some construction paper, clothes pins, paper plates and 1 paper bag, you can transform a neglected side dish into the main attraction!! We used each feather to write our guests name and left a spot to fill in what they’re thankful for. Over dinner, as we pass the rolls, it will be a wonderful conversation starter and lovely way to remember the evening!

Turkey Treat
What a cute classroom treat for Thanksgiving! I think I might even make a few for neighbors and teachers to tell them we are thankful for them! We used peanut candies for our turkey but M and M’s would work just as well. If you look quickly before ALL the Christmas candy is out, you might even be able to find the special M and M’s that they made in fall colors!
Our inspiration for this craft was found here!
This would even be a fabulous place card especially if you have lots of kids coming for Thanksgiving dinner! All you would have to do is add a small name tag around the turkey’s neck!
