There are so many things to be grateful for in life, but sometimes when things get tough, it’s hard to remember what they are. That’s why we love this simple idea of a gratitude notebook.

Have a child create a book where every page is filled with things that make her happy. Start with the letter A, and have her fill the page(s) with words,drawings, cutouts from magazines, print-offs from the internet, etc. that start with the letter A. Create a similar page for each letter of the alphabet. The end result will be a packed notebook full of happy things! What a great book to look at when things aren’t going so well.
