Thanksgiving Lessons for Preschoolers

Teaching preschoolers to be thankful is a wonderful way to help them realize how fortunate we are and how much we should appreciate the things we have. You can do a simple thankful lesson by saying "I am thankful for my family." What are you thankful for? You will be amazed that it is probably not all toys and material things. Children can learn to be appreciative from all things.

And if you pray in your household, change these thankful statements to prayers of thanksgiving. Psalms 69:30 "I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving." Remember to be thankful all times of the day, not just before dinner. This would be a great game to play in the car!

Being thankful should happen everyday, not just the 4th Thursday of November!
