Gratitude for a Good Attitude: Write a Thank You Card

Showing gratitude can actually make you happier, say many experts. Ask your child to think about someone in their life they are thankful for. Give them some craft supplies and ask them to write a thank you letter to that person (give some extra help for early/pre-writers). Ask them to tell you how they think it will make the person feel when they receive the letter. Make a plan to deliver the letter either in person or through the mail. 

Meditative Art: Tape Mosaic Art

Set your child up with a big piece of cardboard, some painter’s tape, and some paint brushes & paint. Help your child stick the tape down in random lines (for younger children, prior to starting the craft, stick the tape down for them). Tell your child to put different colors in each empty space between the tape lines to end up with a cool mosaic design. Give your child some space to relax while they plan their colors and paint. Once all the spaces are painted, let dry for 24 hours and then carefully peel up the painter’s tape to reveal your child’s masterpiece.
