Count Your Blessings Thanksgiving Jar–Easy Thanksgiving Craft for Kids

A few years ago my husband and I started the tradition during dinner of going around the table and having everyone say what they were thankful for that day. Sometimes it’s sweet, like being thankful for family, sometimes it’s silly, like being thankful for favorite foods but it is always fun to do. The kids and I decided that this year for Thanksgiving we would continue the tradition but with our extended family and we made this easy Count Your Blessings Thanksgiving Jar.

Count Your Blessings Thanksgiving Jar


This is a super simple craft and something that you can do on Thanksgiving Day with the kids while you are waiting for dinner to finish cooking.

Here is how to make your own:

Zink hAppy Supplies Needed #ad

Count Your Blessings Thanksgiving Jar

Supplies needed

1 canister ( I used an empty oatmeal container)

Construction paper

Photos (I used my new Zink hAppy printer to print out the I’m Thankful For saying and the pictures of my kids).

Scissors

Instructions

Cover the canister with white construction paper

Have your kids trace their hands on construction paper and cut out.  Glue the hands on the canister.

Add the I’m thankful for…. saying (again, I used my Zink hAppy printer to print it out.)

Glue on photos

Once you have your canister assembled you are ready to add what you are thankful for.  Have your guests and family members write on slips of paper what they are thankful for and add them to the canister.  You can then discuss what you are thankful for over dinner.  If you use a canister that is large enough you can add new blessings every year.

I'm thankful for...a warm house

What a fun way to reflect on what you are thankful for each year and I love that you can see how the kids handwriting changes and what they are thankful for changes over the years as they grow up.
