Help your children to make a “Thankful” wreath. Using multi colored paper trace and cut out your child handprints, glue the arranged handprints around the outside of a paper plate and write things that your child is thankful for on each one. In the center of the plate include your child’s name and Thanksgiving 2020 to have a special craft you can look back on in the coming years!
