Printable Choose to be Grateful
Y'all know how I love to doodle and draw, so this free printable coloring page features leaves and acorns. The black and white version also includes a lovely hand-lettered quote “Choose to be Grateful”. Ready to print and color! The color version is ready to be printed an then framed to add to your Thanksgiving home decor.
To print the Choose to be Grateful printable pages, I recommend using white card stock, but you can totally use regular copy paper if that is all you have on hand. You can also laminate the free printable template to last from year to year. A lot of fun for spending quality time this holiday season with little kids, older kids, and even the big kids too!

First, scroll down to the bottom of the post to find the DOWNLOAD HERE box. The grateful digital files will include two PDF files with a color printable and a black and white printable. You will need to provide your first name and email address. Due to the instant downloadable nature of this item, you will receive no physical items. The easy way is to download the document, open it using your own computer, and print it. I love my Canon TS9521C Inkjet Printer for its vibrant colors and the ability to print on cardstock.
If you don’t have a printer at home, you can save the file and take it to a local copy or print shop.
I recommend printing these grateful printables on card stock, as it creates a much more durable surface. The right way to print is to be sure to select “fit” instead of “actual” in your printing options panel to ensure your printer doesn’t cut off the edges of the files.
This Creatively Beth file is free for personal use only (okay for homes, schools, and libraries), but not for commercial use. Please print as many copies as you would like! However, please do not share or distribute the free download file. Instead please share a link to these Thanksgiving worksheets with friends and family so they can get their own. Please do NOT modify, sell, redistribute, or claim the design as your own.

For best results, download the PDF file to your computer before printing, and print these free files using card stock for the most durable instructions (you can laminate them too). Print both pages, single pages, or multiples of any one you would like once you save the downloadable file that will be emailed to you.
