A4 Paper Cube Gratitude Activity Kit for Kids – Printable Resource
I’m always looking for ways to use maths functionally, and cubes are a wonderful craft resource – who doesn’t love a box? This box has become something special: a way to build a record of what we enjoy and how we feel. It helps affirm what’s important to us and our sense of self‑worth amid the growing noise of outside influences, making it a meaningful gratitude activity for kids. Children can use the templates to build their own cubes, or be inspired to decorate them with their own words, pictures, and ideas.
This printable gratitude activity for kids helps children explore thankfulness in a playful, tactile way. By building and decorating their own “gratitude cube,” kids practise noticing positive moments, naming their feelings, and reflecting on what makes their day special. It works well at home, in classrooms, or in small‑group wellbeing sessions.
What’s included
- Instruction page with diagrams
Clear, child‑friendly diagrams show where to glue each tab and the recommended gluing order, with labels and arrows to support independence. - Cube templates (For printing purposes, these cubes are smaller than the 7 cm × 7 cm cube I made in my YouTube tutorial).
- Plain cube net (blank template to cut out and assemble).
- Cube net with a rectangle cut‑out on one face (for posting gratitude notes inside).
- Cube net with a circle cut‑out.
- Cube net with a gymnast in a bow hold (the hoop acts as a cut‑out window for a note).
- Cube net with a rabbit illustration.
- Cube net with a horse’s head illustration.
- Cube net with the letter “M” (for @mathsinpractice, “me,” or to inspire children to create their own letter design).
- Creative prompts (cut‑outs)
- Pictures and words to stick on the outside of the cube, focusing on favourite things to do.
- Pictures and words to stick on the inside of the cube, focusing on how those activities make children feel.
- Gratitude slips
- One sheet with 14 cut‑out slips, each saying: “My favourite moment today, how it made me feel,” designed for daily or weekly reflections to be inserted into the cube.
Kids can use the templates to build their own cubes, or be inspired to decorate them with their own words, pictures, and ideas. I hope you enjoy it!
