To start off, I made a turkey head and face. That means it was SUPER simple to set up for her… and me! Little ones need all the confidence to get by in the world.įor this activity, we only used a few things. It also promotes her being independent and in turn it helps her with her confidence. This gives me time to clean or cook a dish for Thanksgiving. Plus, It turns out really abstract, which makes this one of my favorite turkeys of the year!Īs I’ve said over and over again, I try to find crafts and activities that are easy for Mila to do by herself. This easy craft is perfect if you run out of feathers or just want to give your child a simple turkey craft. Quirky Turkeys don’t always have feathers, sometimes they have spots. How do you talk about gratitude during the holidays? Do you have a tradition like this? Let me know in the comments. I’ll never be able to thank him and Mila for choosing me to be their mom. I know anytime I hear Jensen’s name, I’m so thankful others are thinking of him. No matter if you can’t think of anything else to be thankful for, I know a name can be powerful. I miss Jensen everyday and am so thankful that he was in my life. With that, I know so many people grieving through the holidays. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and holds their loved ones close this year and for as long as they can. This simple and easy to make gratitude sign will make a big impact on Thanksgiving Day. Plus, sometimes the things you’re most thankful for are ‘small.’ Even if she’s not in a positive space, I want her to know that I’m always thankful for her. It’s something I want to do with Mila as she gets older. I think this will be a beautiful tradition for my family. Hopefully all my family will so we can all see what everyone says. I added the first three items to the list: family, health, and laughter.Īfter looking at it, I decided to add my name to the sign too. Then, just add tape to the back and it’s ready to go. To make it a little more special, I used some left overs fall elements from a centerpiece. Like this year’s Christmas Bucket List, our DIY Gratitude Sign only uses craft paper and markers. Since there’s been so many events, people, and things in general that have happened in our family, I thought it’d be special for everyone to write it all out. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year, I’m trying to start a new tradition with my family: a DIY Thanksgiving Gratitude Sign.
