Step 1

Using several different colored construction paper, trace your hand and cut it out. Make several as they will need to go around the entire plate.

Glue each hand on the plate with fingers pointing out. Be sure to leave some space in the center of the plate for your Thanksgiving message (see step 3).

In the center of the plate, write "I am thankful for". Write your name and the year. For the little ones, parents or teachers can write on the plate.

Step 4

On each hand, write something you are thankful for. Just think of anything and everything.
