Thankful Hearts
Print this page and show gratitude for all the things to celebrate.
Practice showing thanks with a simple, relaxing art activity. Print out the hearts and write things you are thankful for, or things you love about each other, in each one.
Encourage little ones to decorate the hearts. They can put them on the refrigerator or cut them out to give one another. At family meals everyone can name one thing they are thankful for.
