Here is a little activity you can do for Thanksgiving. Little Grateful postcards. Hand these out to your guest at your Thanksgiving get-together and send the postcards out to people that have touched your life this year. There are two types printable post cards. One geared more to kids and the other for teenagers and adults. The kids grateful printables have a place for your kids to draw a picture of things or people that they are thankful for.

Here are the kids postcards PDFs — one for the front and one for the back.

You can print this statement out and frame it! This frame is from Walmart and was around $9. It would make an AWESOME hostess gift or Christmas gift idea!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I used peanutbutter for the filling….but you could use something else if you have allergy kiddos….

What you will need to make this kids thanksgiving treat:

cute straws:)

graham crackers snapped into rectangles

peanutbutter

dipping white chocolate or milk chocolate

holiday sprinkles

To put together:

flatten the top part of the straw

spread peanutbutter onto both graham crackers (creating your “glue”)

place the straw and top with another cracker

let set and finish making the others

melt the chocolates

Dip into white chocolate set onto wax paper (hold by the base of the cracker for most support)

dip into sprinkles

Let dry

How sweet would these be on the kiddos table this year?!?

I sure hope you can stop by and see me at Cleverlyinspired. You can find me on your favorite social channels too:)

Happy November! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is coming up in only a couple weeks? I love this time of year. And I really enjoy spending Thanksgiving with family. Each year we try to remember all of the things we are thankful for. Check out these cute Thanskgiving Printables!

This year I made a little Thanksgiving tree and I thought it would be fun to have everyone at Thanksgiving write a few things they are Thankful for on cards and then hang them on the Thankful Tree.

So I made up some little Thankful Cards as well as a bigger size card that you can print off and hang on a jar or pot. You can have people put the cards directly in the Thankful Jar or Pot or you can make a tree like I did. I think it’s a fun centerpiece for Thanskgiving Day, or even a little decoration to put out this month. Each day I am having my kids write something down they are thankful for and hang it on the tree.

So here are the FREE Thankful Tree Printables:

Just right-click this link or the image below and choose “save as” to download the printable PDF. Print as many copies as you need! Printing on a heavier paper or card stock will probably work best! I’ve included both square and rectangular shapes for the cards. (The PDF has two pages in one file; I’m showing you both pages below.)

You can use these on a centerpiece, as part of a Thanksgiving activity, or all month long to help your family count its blessings!
