n today’s busy world, people often forget to take a
breath and appreciate the wonderful things and
people that surround them. By taking some time
and creating a gratitude jar, you not only remind
yourself to be thankful, but also teach your children about
the importance of expressing gratitude.
Make a gratitude jar to give as a gift or for your whole family to
share. No matter who the gratitude jar is for, make it fun. Decorate
it with your children and ask everyone to write down reasons they
are thankful.
If you’re making the jar as a gift, have everyone share three
to five reasons they’re thankful to have this person in their lives.
If you’re making the jar for your family to share, ask everyone to
think of three to five reasons they’re thankful for their family or
individuals within the family.
The gratitude jar will not only be a fun project for you and your
children, but it will also be a gift that keeps on giving.
