Although we should be teaching our children about being thankful all through the year, the fall is a great time to especially focus on this character quality, as well as teaching our children the meaning behind the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
I’ve gathered up 30 crafts and activities from around the web that you can use to teach children to be thankful this fall, or anytime of the year. I hope you find some new activities on this list that your family can enjoy together and maybe you will even start a new yearly tradition with one of the ideas below.
