This year I wanted to make a thankful tree. I've seen alot of people do it, and thought it would be a good lesson for the boys to learn and to remember what thanksgiving was all about. I went to the library and made some maple leaves from their die-cut machine and then had the boys tell me what they were thankful for and put it on the leaves. I hung the leaves with a paper clip so the leaves hung nicely. I just used a old vase and put some rocks in it for the base and used a branch for the "tree" that I found from the yard. Total cost: $0. I like to make things that don't cost anything to make but look cute in the end! I was happy how it turned out and the boys learned a valuable lesson!
