Gratitude is a difficult concept for many kids to wrap their heads around.

Asking kids questions like what foods they are thankful for, what places they have visited that they are grateful for, what people are important in their lives or what makes them happy gets them thinking about that which is important to them.
Identifying what it important in our lives helps us develop an appreciation for those things, and sparks a feeling of gratitude and thankfulness. Plus, making this dice gratitude craft together opens up the conversation!

Click on the image below to download your copy and follow the instructions for assembly included.
Once printed, cut out the dice and crease on all black lines.
The flaps should be folded to the inside, and the dice will kind of come together once all of the lines are creased.
You can choose to glue the flaps together or assemble the dice into a cube and tape the edges. While tape doesn’t look as clean, I find it to be the easiest and least frustrating option for my kids.
Print off as many copies as you like, and make some for friends!
What a great way to practice gratitude with kids.
Don’t forget to check out many of the other prompts that we have on our month of gratitude calendar!
