This year we made a *thankful tree*. This is the first time for us to make one, but I've been seeing so many around the blogosphere and it seemed like a great project for the kiddos. And they are enjoying it!
We simply found a branch in our backyard, stripped the leaves off of it, stuck it in a block of foam and put it in our fireplace ash bucket with a little bit of moss hiding the foam--then started adding our own paper leaves that have things we are thankful for written on them. Very easy! I just used some leaf cookie cutters for stencils to draw the leaves, but I'm sure you could find a template online or free-hand some leaves, too.

This is great! I like the different colored leaves = ) !
Great tree. I have not seen one like that. Using actual branches. Very neat.
Very cute!!!
Great idea; would love to see close ups of the leaves. =)
I really like the idea of a thankful tree. I wish I had thought of it when my girls were little.

PS: Your Cinderella coach pumpkin is adorable.
This is a great idea. Very sweet and pretty, too.
Thanks for coming by and visiting my blog :)
I also wish I had known about the tree when my grown kids were young...I will be sharing with the daughters for the Grands though!
Warm wishes,

Your tree is so clever. It looks so sweet. Your fireplace looks so homey.
I love this idea! I've been trying to think of a good Thanksgiving themed project for us all to work on together. I know what we'll be doing tomorrow. Thanks!
