Write words of gratitude on the colored side of the autumn leaf if you would like the words you write to be visible to everyone.

Step 5 – Attach Gratitude Leaves to the Thanksgiving Tree Craft

Use glue or tape to attach each printable gratitude leaf onto the Thanksgiving tree. Either glue on one leaf per day in November to count down to Thanksgiving. Or glue them all at once to finish your gratitude tree craft. Learn more about how to use gratitude trees HERE–>Thankful Tree Tradition.
