The Thankful Tree



Fall brings a great opportunity to
use the abundance of leaves
to talk with your child about God!
This activity let's you use leaves to
remind you of all the places you can 
go where God is with you,
Everywhere!


You only need construction paper,
scissors, markers and glue.



Let your child draw a tree trunk & branches



Cut out a lot of leaves; use whatever
is your child's favorite color!


As you go through your week,
write the places that you go
on a leaf.


Leave the "pile" of leaves sitting
at the bottom of the tree.
You can put the back on the tree
as you go!  


Your tree will be "growing"
leaves, as the ones around you 
will be losing theirs! 
Talk with your child about how MANY 
leaves there are, 
and how MANY places we go.
And God is with us in all of them!
