Thankful Tree
This is the time of the year to take a moment and remember all of the amazing things and people in our lives!
But isn’t every time of year the perfect time for showing how thankful we are?!
The Thankful Thanksgiving Tree is a great way to give younger kids something to do while the adults and older kids are preparing Thanksgiving dinner!
But frankly, listing out what we are grateful for is a great idea for not just little kids, but the entire family.
For a little help getting started, I wrote a post a few years ago about a ‘thankful activity‘ to list out things big and small in your life that you are thankful to have around.
Taking a moment to express gratitude just feels good. After the last few years we’ve all had, I think we all need something uplifting in our lives!

Ideas to Express Gratitude
If you’re looking for some inspiration for showing gratitude, try out these three gratitude activities.
1. Keep a Gratitude Journal
One of the simplest ways to start practicing gratitude is to keep a daily journal. Every day, take some time to write down a few things you’re grateful for.
It can be anything from the big (a new job, a happy relationship) to the small (a good cup of coffee, a sunny day).
2. Gratitude Jar
A gratitude jar is a great way to remind yourself of all the good things in your life. Every day, take a moment to write down something you’re grateful for on a slip of paper.
Then, add it to the jar.
At the end of the month, or even the year, you’ll have a reminder of all the great things that have happened.
Gratitude jars are easy to make and can be customized to fit your needs. All you need is a jar and some slips of paper.
You can decorate the jar however you like, or keep it simple. Once you’ve got your supplies, it’s time to start filling it up!
Think about all the things you’re grateful for. Maybe you’re grateful for your health, or for a friend who always makes you laugh.
3. Write a Letter of Gratitude
A letter of gratitude is a formal expression of thanks that is typically sent to someone who has done something significant or helpful.
The letter can be sent to anyone, from a close friend to a business associate, and it is often handwritten to add a personal touch.
There are many reasons why you might want to send a letter of gratitude, but some common ones include expressing thanks for a kindness, acknowledging help during a difficult time, or celebrating a success.
Regardless of the reason, taking the time to sit down and write out your thoughts can show just how much you appreciate the other person.
If you’re not sure where to start, try brainstorming a list of things you’re thankful for about the person before diving into writing.
Once you have your list, simply start with a friendly opening and then express your gratitude in as much detail as possible.
