I Am Thankful Craft for Kids

What you will need to make your Thankful Craft is in this picture below. However, I have it displayed in list form to print out towards the bottom of the page. Have fun!

To start your “I am thankful” plate craft, Have your children paint the center circle of one paper plate orange and paint the entire edge tan. Let that dry.

Press the 3 cotton balls in the center, so they stick to the paint, and sprinkle the glitter on the top so it looks like spices.

Now stick stickers on the plate to spell out “I’m Thankful For.”

Cut one slice of the pie out of the plate. Make sure to cut on the side opposite of the stickers.

On the other plate, write 5 things you are thankful for or have your child write 5 things they are thankful for. Set the pie plate on top of this one and line it up to write your thankful ideas – write your things in the space that the pie piece is cut out. Turn it so you can write each one.

Now just poke the paper fastener through both paper plates and secure at the back. Just spin the bottom plate to see all the things you are thankful for.
