This is a great craft specifically directed towards children, but can be made by adults as well. All you need for this craft is a paper plate, some scissors, glue, and various colors of construction paper.
It can help tremendously if you have a pre-made template for leaves to cut out. A good way to do this is to download some Thanksgiving coloring pages that have leaves on them. Then transfer those images to the paper for you or your child to cut out.
You start this craft by taking the paper plate and cutting out a half circle in the middle of the plate. Just underneath the horizontal line of the half circle write “I Am Thankful Forâ€. Then set about cutting out your leaves.
On each leaf, write something you or your child are thankful for. As we have said before, if you have children who aren’t ready to write just yet, have them dictate what they are thankful for and then write it for them.
Once all the leaves are filled out just glue them all around the outside of the paper plate, and you have a great “Thankful†Thanksgiving craft to show anyone who comes by your house around the holiday!
