Bring a smile to someone’s face, brighten up a classroom, or make an ordinary day extraordinary with our Gratitude Garland. All you have to do is think of all the things that make you feel grateful, write them down and form a garland of gratitude.
Here’s how:
Step 1 Get Printing
Collect your supplies, then download and print at least 4 copies of free printable recognition strips.
Step 2 get writing
Using a felt-tip marker, write down things you’re thankful for on each strip. Invite your family to join in!
Step 3 get cutting
Once everyone has shared what they’re grateful for, cut out the strips.
Step 4 get garlanding
Now use tape to interlock your strips together, forming a chain.
Step 5 get sharing
The final step is to share your Gratitude Garland! Hang it up on a window sill or fireplace mantle, use it to decorate a desk or table.
