FHE IDEA: Thankful Tree
Here are Instructions for the “Thankful Tree” you saw at our Station:
Step 1– Make the Tree! I decided to try and make something cute that could be
considered a decoration, one I could have in my home all of the time! I mean, why not?! It’s
a great reminder for the kids, and it will give them something to look forward to with the
change of each season, or upcoming holidays. I also think that this helps us, as a family, to
always be thinking about what we are grateful for. I picked up some branches from an
open field by our house, spray painted them and put them in a burlap sack, then a vase.
Step 2— Make the “leaves” or ornaments. Each season or holiday you can come up with
something new! Pictured are a few I have done. It’ll be fun to come up with new “leaves.”
Here’s an idea. I think it would be special to change these up
for each family member’s birthdays, with their favorite color
or hobby and have each family member write down, on each
item, what they appreciate about that person.
Step 3– Hold a Family Home Evening
centered around Gratitude, ask each
member family member to write down what
they are grateful for, either on the “leaf”
or on a sticky label that can be attached.
Enjoy your tree throughout the season, then
switch it
up.
