What better way to remind your family to count their blessings than by introducing Thanksgiving decorations and activities. Here are 15 centerpieces, decorations, and table activities that can stimulate conversations about gratitude, and elicit thankfulness for all the good things in our lives.
Yellow Bliss Road has great conversation-starting printables perfect for your Thanksgiving table. The notecards fit into the utensil holder envelope.
Here’s another free printable utensil holder, this one from Craftaholics Anonymous. It says “Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart.”
Whimsical Home And Garden suggests starting a new family tradition. These homemade placemats give your Thanksgiving guests a place to jot down the things they’re thankful for.
