These gratitude crafts and activities are the perfect way to open up a conversation about showing gratitude and being thankful with kids.


Teaching our kids to be thankful for what they have is one of me most important lessons we can demonstrate. This doesn’t mean telling them to be thankful, it means demonstrating gratitude as parents and having an open conversation with our children about what that means.

These gratitude crafts and activities are a really great way to get the conversation going, and demonstrate thankfulness as a family. With several options for thankful crafts, these are perfect to do all year long.

Gratitude Crafts to Make and Do with Your Family

Making crafts with your family gives you a chance to bond and discuss important topics. Talking about being thankful can be tricky with kids. Discuss why this is important for you, and you will see that your sentiments will resonate with your kids.

As an alternative activity, try this Fall Photo Challenge with kids, it’s a great lesson in mindfulness and gratitude.

Gratitude Jars to Make with Kids

These jars make a great gratitude craft as kids can fill them up over a period of time, and can also enjoy removing the contents and seeing what other family members are grateful for as well.

Thankful Trees to Make

Similar to a thankful jar, these thankful trees are gratitude crafts that double as beautiful displays for your home. Kids will love to add what they are thankful for to these beauties. These are some of my favorite gratitude arts and crafts to do!
