construction paper
leaf stamp
scissors
first i drew a tree on a piece of brown construction paper and had my 5 year old, Oliver (oli) cut it out with scissors. When he was done, i taped it to my kitchen wall.
meanwhile, my 2 year old daughter anabelle (aj) stamped leaves onto different colored papers. When she was done with that, oli cut those out too.
When he was done with those, i asked what they were thankful for and wrote it on the leaves (9 of them to be exact since today is the 9th and i plan to do one a day) and then taped them to the thankful tree.
