Directions:
Label each stick with something to be grateful for that you can count in or around your home – i.e. pets, bicycles, televisions. Decorate the sticks if you like, and place them in a mason jar.
Each day, pull out a stick, and count the number of that item you have in your house.
For each item collect that same number of coins or dollars.
At the end of the month, choose a charity to make your donation to!
