“I’m Thankful For” Printable + Coloring Page for Kids!

While we should always be encouraging gratitude in our kids year-round, the holiday season is a special time of year to reflect on all things we are thankful for. We’ve started a tradition in our home of writing down what we are thankful for and displaying it in our home to remind us what being thankful is really about.

It’s fun to save them from year-to-year and see how our gratitude changes!

We’ve created a simple, customizable printable for the kids (or you!) to use to color and write down what they are thankful for this year.
