How to Make a Thanksgiving Cornucopia Blessings Craft

Twist the bottom half of the bag to make the horn of a cornucopia. Then tuck in the open edges and round it out to finish your cornucopia shape. Fill it with toys that suggest things kids can be thankful for, such as dolls to represent people, toy food, and toy animals.

Let children take turns pulling out something from the cornucopia blessings craft as you say, “Thank you, God, for _____.”

Ask older toddlers to be more specific. For example, if a child pulls out a doll, you could say, “Thank you, God, for people!” Then ask the kids to name specific people they are thankful for.

Allow children to each hold the Blessings Craft as you help them pray.
