How to Make an “I am Thankful Tree” Keepsake

As you know, holidays are a BIG deal in our family. With a military spouse, we make the most of the holidays we get to spend together. A big part of our traditions is making crafts that we can use each year.

With two little girls, I always strive to find fun but simple crafts for the holiday season.  I love finding things we can make together AND I can save for years to come.

Supplies:

• Construction/Craft  paper
• Leave templates (great ones available at JessGordonDesigns.com) or you can draw freehand some great leaves!
• Tree Draw your own tree and have fun with a cute design
  
• Crayons/markers/etc.
• Glue
• Laminating Sheets/Laminator

Steps:

1. Gather supplies
2. Print and cut out leaf templates or draw your own
3. Draw and cut out a tree design
   
4. Write name, year and “I’m Thankful For..”  on the tree
5. Have children write or draw what they are thankful for on the leaves
6. Glue leaves onto paper tree (Optional: I number the leaves 1-30 and have the girls write on one leaf every day in November)
7. Laminate the completed tree if you are keeping it as a keepsake.
8. Enjoy!

What are YOUR family traditions?

Live, Love & Learn,
