Thanksgiving is a good time to remind our children or grandchildren to be thankful for the many good things in their lives – family, friends, opportunities to learn and grow. A natural way to call these thoughts to mind is to begin with a question: "What are you thankful for?" Then, by suggesting this craft project as a way to express their thoughts, you'll give kids the chance to really explore their feelings and reflect on their values. You'll all be proud of the results. Be sure to save and preserve their projects – you'll be touched by them for many Thanksgivings to come.
