Create Your Own Thankful Jar This Thanksgiving!

Treat your children to a new family tradition that is both fun and educational. Have kids create “thankful notes” by drawing a small picture of what they are thankful for. Older kids can use a word or two in addition to drawings.

It will be fun for kids to create their own little drawings and kids of all ages can participate! Have kids create a “Thankful Note” for 3 or 4 days in November.

Put all of the notes in a jar marked “Thankful Jar”, you can even have the kids decorate it.

Make A Melted Snowman!

Looking for a way to entertain the kids in December? How about creating some easy age appropriate art? Kids under 5 will love imagining a melted snowman and then sharing their creation with family and friends.

Materials:

  • Blue Construction Paper
  • White Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Googly Eyes
  • Pre-Cut Snowman Accessories (or make your own)

MSM

Directions:

  • Give your child a piece of blue construction paper along with a paint brush and a cup of white paint. Invite them to begin painting  their “melted snowman”. Talk about how a melted snowman might look and feel.
  • While the paint is still wet have children stick the snowman parts (hat, arms, scarf, nose, eyes) directly onto their melted snowman. Talk about the shapes as you go.

Have them sign their name and enjoy!
