No-Sew Thanksgiving Countdown calendar

Can you believe, it’s no sew?  I made it simple with 31 pockets because I wanted to be able to change it up for other holidays. Get the details here.

21 Days of Thanksgiving Countdown-  2012 Thanksgiving (click on link and right click on image, copy and paste into your document and print).

Give Thanks Countdown Cards-These cards are designed to use at dinner, family  night, in the car on the way to school.  Just print and cut out. You can put them on a ring so you can have them with you at all times.  I will be putting ours in our Thanksgiving Countdown calendar and each day our kids will pull one out at dinner.

ABC’s Thanksgiving Activity- I love this idea from This Reading Mama who is one of our 30 bloggers joining in the 21 Days of Contagious Gratitude for the whole family. She shares her free printables to make a ABC’s Thanksgiving booklet for your child to record and have.

Thankful Pumpkin Activity- This can be done each day in the month of November or the evening of your Thanksgiving meal.

Thankful Tree- This lovely little craft made by Creekside Learning was featured in the Celebrate Fall Issue.

Starting a Gratitude Journal- Aren’t these just lovely? I love how simply beautiful they are and I know the notes of gratitude that will be taken, will be priceless.

Thank You Postcards I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love to receive thank you mail especially when it’s real mail! Here’s a fun way to get the kids involved in writing thank you notes.
