Kids can fill a DIY Mini Clear Ornament with our free printable “I am Thankful For…” strips. Kids will love decorating their turkey with Bright Turkey Feathers and silly googly eyes! Add some gold chocolate candy for a sweet treat on Thanksgiving Day. Family members will love hearing about what each child is grateful for this year. The best part is, this is a great craft for young children to adults. You can even invite friends and family to contribute.

I wanted to do a new spin on a gratitude tree. But didn’t want to use leaves or other fall decor. I have done those trees in the past and have loved them. The fun thing about this tree is you can add whatever you’d like to it. It could be really cute with a paper leaf here and there. Just add construction paper to your list.
