Let’s make it.

  1. Large leaf shapes cut from colorful paper.

    Cut your leaves

    Draw large leaf shapes and cut them out. Give each person two or three leaves.

  2. Paper leaves decorated with simple drawings of sunshine, a bowl and a heart.

    Add a little gratitude

    Write or draw something specific you appreciated this week: a shared meal, someone’s help or a funny moment.

  3. Holes near the tops of paper leaves with short yarn ties attaching them to a craft stick.

    Tie the leaves on

    An adult punches a hole near the top of each leaf. Tie the leaves to a craft stick with short lengths of yarn.

  4. A finished paper-leaf mobile with room for more gratitude leaves.

    Display it together

    Hang the mobile securely out of small children’s reach. Read a few leaves together and leave blank ones nearby for future additions.

A little help: Keep hanging cords out of reach of babies and toddlers.

KEEP THE GOOD TIME GOING
