Those of you who have been hanging out here for awhile might recognize my Thankful Checklist placemat. I originally created this for my kids to color and check on Thanksgiving day while the turkey was roasting. I wanted to make sure they really understood why we celebrated the holiday. Sure we tell our kids constantly that they have lots to be thankful for—health, a roof over their heads, food on the table—but there is so much more. Even us adults sometimes need to be reminded how awesome “a cozy blankie” really is.
Family Fun magazine included my Thankful checklist placemats in the latest issue. Click here to print out the first version and here to print out the second. (intended for private use only please.)
Here’s the latest version I created for this Thanksgiving, but perfect for any day of the year. And if you don’t check brussels sprouts that’s okay. I’m more of a french fry girl myself.
What a great idea!!!! Congratulations that you got published in the magazine, fingers crossed that there is coming more publishing!!!! You work so hard and it’s great to see you get rewarded for it! Have a creative day!
Smiles, Anke
