Gather scissors, stickers, pencils, crayons, glue and construction paper. Cut the paper in strips and ask your kids to think about the many ways God is good. Have them write or draw these attributes on the strips, then connect them to form a chain and hang it in a place where it will remind your family of God's goodness. Make a Blessing Basket. Throughout the month, encourage family members to jot down ways God has blessed them.
Younger children can draw or cut out pictures from magazines.
Read these together and give God thanks each day or set aside some time on Thanks giving Day. Trim a Tree of Thanks. Draw and cut out a large paper tree with lots of loose leaves in autumn colors. Mount the tree in a prominent place and put the leaves nearby in a box with glue and markers. Ask your family to write things they are thankful for on the leaves, filling the tree by the end of the month.
