Thankful tree: tree, leaves and gratitude jar in three styles

A gratitude tree in three pieces: a bare tree trunk to fill in, a sheet of blank leaves to cut and write on, a gratitude jar label to collect notes instead. Every leaf and label is left blank for a family's or class's own words. Drawn rustic burlap-and-kraft, elegant gold-and-cream, or bright kids' style. Tape the filled leaves to the tree as the month goes on.

• a classroom gratitude activity through November
• a Thanksgiving table centerpiece project
• a family tradition filled in daily
• a gratitude jar for notes read aloud at dinner

Frequently asked questions

Are the leaves already labeled?

No — every leaf is left blank so each person writes their own thing they're thankful for.

How do the leaves attach to the tree?

Tape or a glue stick works to add each written leaf to the bare tree sheet as they're filled in.

Can I change the size of the tree or the number of leaves?

Yes — type a direction like 'a bigger tree' or 'fewer, larger leaves' and the sheets redraw.

Is there a simpler version for young kids?

The kids' set uses a bigger tree and fewer, larger leaves; the elegant and rustic sets carry more leaves for an older class or family.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
