8 Easy Giving Thanks Crafts for the Family

Eight fun Thanksgiving thankful crafts for both kids and adults!

These easy Thanksgiving crafts are simple ways ways to count your blessings and involve the family and kids. So many of them turn into keepsakes you'll bring back out every year!

I’ve seen many DIY thankful trees over the years but this one from Simple Vintage Girl has such a pretty, natural look:

LOVE the little chalkboard wood labels! Those would be lovely as Christmas tree ornaments too! (Or used for a Christmas countdown!)

Speaking of trees, I love this wall thankful tree idea too. She cut out a large tree shape from brown paper and stick it to the wall so the kids can reach:

The kids take the fall leaves from the bottom and write what they’re thankful for, then fill up the top of the tree. So cute! 

If you don’t have a craft cutter I’m sure you could find the paper leaves at craft or dollar stores. (Ohhh I just found this leaf set in nine different fall colors!)

This little daily gratitude turkey craft tutorial from De Su Mama is so adorable:

The kids write on each feather and fill him up. Too stinking cute!

I thought this tissue box thankful turkey craft was cute too:

She includes a free printable for those thankful cards as well! 

This cute fingerprint tree printable can be customized with the colors you want for the "leaves":

Or you could have the whole family join in when they come for dinner. I’d frame this easy craft and keep it up all year!

I LOVE this idea of using an inexpensive drop cloth for a Thanksgiving dinner tablecloth:

Use fall colored sharpies and have the family write what they’re thankful for (make sure they date it!). Keep it and have everyone add to it every year. :)

This is a similar Thanksgiving table runner idea is a cute way to save those little handprints from kids of all ages:

It would be adorable to see the little turkeys grow over the years. :)

Both of those ideas could be done with plain white placemats as well. 

One more idea that I love is adding a large thankful jar to the middle of the dinner table with post its. Let everyone add their words of gratitude and pick someone to read them all. 

This thankful wreath with construction paper leaves is another great one to do with kids:

You could take the leaves off and make new ones every year, or just add to it! So cute!

I love all of these ideas and most of them look pretty easy! I’m always trying to think of ways for us instill thankfulness in our son. 

If it’s fun for kids I think they grasp the thankful spirit even more!
