Making Our Thanksgiving Tree Craft

If you're looking for a fun and simple Thanksgiving craft, this one cannot get any simpler.  All you need is construction paper, scissors, and some markers or crayons.  I also love this craft because it aids in teaching our children the true meaning of Thanksgiving.  After you have cut out the leaf shapes have your children write what they're thankful for right on the leaf.  If you have little ones that cannot write yet, make it fun and assist them in writing the word or words by guiding their hand. I did this with my 3 year old, Rebecca.  To make the trunk of the tree I cut brown construction paper in half and stapled them together long-wise.  We did this craft as part of our learning about Thanksgiving in school yesterday.  Another great thing about this particular craft is that you can continue to add more leaves as you get closer to the actual Thanksgiving day.  Enjoy!
