This one is originally a puppet. But I think we can let kids to write thanks messages on the popsicle stick and give it to whom the kids want to say thanks to.

Instead of using handprint, I will give kids 5 - 6 feather shape color paper to write thanks messages. And then, clip them all by the clothespin. That will be so pretty!

 

 

 

 

11. Grateful Rocks
