Thanksgiving Craft

One of our nightly routines after our prayers, is to say our Thank Yous. This is where The Boy thanks God for things He has blessed us with. I thought it would make a great Thanksgiving Countdown Craft. I recorded what The Boy said each night and would add it to our leaf ribbon. Note to Self: Think of cute name for this craft.

Since this was so long ago...well, two months....I cannot remember what cart I used to cut out the words. I did use vinyl. I love vinyl!! So many possibilities!!!

The leaves were cut from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I cut one for each day of November leading up to Thanksgiving and then cut some to write the items he was thankful for. That's 50 leafs in all. I then hot glued the numbered leafs to clothespins.

For some reason I couldn't get the close up picture to upload, but listed below are some of The Boy's thank yous. Keep in mind, he was only two when we made this.
