Thankful Poster
This thankful poster is a great way to bring gratitude into the Holidays!
I have a 3 and a 1 year old and I really wanted to think of a way to get us all feeling grateful throughout Thanksgiving without putting a huge burden on myself. It turns out this Thankful poster was absolutely perfect! Both my kids loved drawing on it and thinking about what they were thankful for! I loved that it was super low maintenance, and something I could easily remember to do.
I at first thought it would just be a Thanksgiving thing, but my kids loved it so much we are going to do a new one all throughout December for Christmas! It’s just such an easy way to bring in a spirit of gratitude. I love the Christmas season and all that comes with it, but sometimes it’s hard to make room for what Christmas is really about. I think this will be a great way for us to do that!

I just love projects like this! I think it’s important for children to recognize why holidays are special and not just about food and gifts. I bet this made a nice keepsake as well.
How sweet is this? I am absolutely in love with this idea. I think I might do this next Thanksgiving.
This is such a great idea…and age-appropriate too! I think it’s important to teach children how to be thankful from a young age. The concept of gratitude will mature as they grow older.
I love this idea. We used to do something a little similar but not in poster form. I think I may put this on our kitchen chalk board!
This is such a great idea and so simple, cheap and easy to do! I think I need one so that whenever I’m feeling grumpy I can look at it!
Little things like this are what makes having kids so fun! I’d be interested in what they write on the poster what they’re thankful for!
What a great idea. I love this. What a great way to get the family and friends to say what they are thankful for.
A Thankful Poster is such a great idea. It’s great to teach children early about gratitude. This is something that I think would be great for any family.
I absolutely love this idea! I think we will be doing this with the family this holiday season. I will definitely be sharing this. Thanks so much for sharing.
SUPER cute idea!! I need to bookmark this for next November. Wouldn’t it be fun to have it up all month, then read it on Thanksgiving?
Oh this is so sweet! It would be great to save these for years to come and pull out!
It’s so easy to make! I think it’s awesome that you’re sharing this idea! It’s really nice to make a poster and have the kids participate. I’m sure they’ll appreciate the things that they have more.
This is such a nice tradition! Can’t wait to see what your kids write will about in the coming years. 🙂
This is such a wonderful idea for gratitude practice! Not only does it in bulk gratitude every time you see it it reminds you of all the blessings that you have. Thank you
What a beautiful and doable idea! I think we’ll make this a yearly tradition so everyone can show some gratitude for all we have. <3
This is such a wonderful idea! It is so important to remember what we have and be thankful, especially during this time of the year when it is ways to get caught up in getting new “stuff”
This is such a fun activity! This is a great holiday activity to do around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
This is such a brilliant idea! I love the fact that you can easily put this poster together. It doesn’t take a lot of time but it has a deep meaning!
This idea is amazing! I love that this can be put together easily and I love how it reminds everyone to remain thankful!
This is a great idea! I would love to do this with my daughter and young nieces!
We never really had any special traditions. We didn’t even do that thing where everyone says what they are grateful for. I think I grew up in a family that just constantly sung the praises of life and our beliefs so the special thing about Thanksgiving was more people and more food.
Super cute! I am going to send this to a friend of mine for her kids. I think this is a great idea and more families could benefit from a low maintenance effort like this. It helps remind everyone of the true spirit of the holidays in addition to day-to-day gratitude.
This is so cute! I think it’s so important to teach kids what it is to be grateful!
This is a great way to teach children that the holidays are so much more than just gifts and Santa Clause. Love it!
I love this idea. It’s so easy for kids to get caught up in the getting of gifts that they forget about giving and gratitude. This is a lovely way to remind me what the season is all about.
What a cute family tradition! We don’t currently have anything like this in our family! Will have to come up with something this year.
What a great way to remember all the things we’re thankful for. Also a good step to start teaching our children how to be grateful for all the blessings.
