The Grateful Tree

Last year my mom and I made a Grateful Tree with friends. This is how you make it.

Things you will need:
Branches
Rocks or Pebbles
Vase (your choice on size)
Fun fall paper
Black thread
Hole puncher

Go outside and find branches you think best represent a tree. then put them in the vase using the pebbles in the bottom to hold them in place. Then get your fun paper and cut out leaves(any shape). Do not forget to make stems. Then use the hole puncher and punch holes beneath the stems. Then cut the black thread and tie the sting so you can hang it on the branches. Then on Thanksgiving around the dining room table before you eat, each person can write on their leaf what they are thankful for. Above is a picture of our tree from last year.
