Friday's Fun
With a little help, the grandkids can have a one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving wreath.
· Cut a wreath ring out of poster board or cardboard and set this aside.
· Trace each grandchild’s hands on colored construction paper (choose fall colors).
. Repeat this several times.
· Help the grandkids write something they are thankful for on each leaf. (Of course, older grandchildren could do this by themselves.)
· Now, randomly layer/glue the hands around the wreath until it is covered.
· You may want to decorate the leaves with some pumpkin or turkey stickers.
Here are some examples of various autumn hand-print wreaths:

Have fun!
