Gratitude Christmas Paper Chain

This Christmas Paper Chain is a festive Christmas craft for kids that focuses on teaching gratitude.

Do you remember making paper chains as a kid?

I normally made them for Christmas. But this Gratitude Christmas Paper Chain one is a little different than the traditional ones you remember.

Here is how this Christmas tradition works:

Each day leading up to Christmas ask your kids something they are thankful for, write it down on the paper chain, and then add it to your paper chain. By the time Christmas arrives, you will have a beautiful paper chain to hang on your tree or elsewhere. 

This is such a simple way to teach gratefulness during the holiday season.
