So Thankful!
An autism-friendly coloring activity to help children celebrate the uniqueness of each family member.
Here’s an autism-friendly coloring activity for autistic kids and their siblings intended to help explore the value each child brings to a family. Print this page for each family member, then cut out the shapes. Each person in the family can add some details to make it personal: eyes, hair, clothing, and so on.
Leave some space around the drawing to write or draw things to be thankful for about that family member (or tape it onto a larger sheet of paper and write on that). Give thanks for everyone in the family!
