Thankful collage and bulletin board display

Submitted on the Comment Box

What You Need:

What You Do:

Display different magazines in your art area. Encourage your children to cut out/ or tear things that they are thankful forand glue them onto the paper. I like to then ask each child to tell me what they are thankful and write it down. We make a display with their collages and statements. The parents love to read exactly what their preschooler is thankful for.
