1. Start a Gratitude Jar
Place a jar somewhere visible, like the kitchen counter, and encourage family members to drop in notes of what they’re thankful for. At the end of the week or month, gather together to read them aloud.
WonderFold tip: Keep the jar in your Stroller Wagon rear storage basket so kids can write a note on the go, whether it’s after a fun playdate at the park or a trip to the zoo. Gratitude becomes a part of the adventure.
2. Share “Highs and Lows” at Dinner
During meals, go around the table and have everyone share their “high” (best part of the day) and their “low” (toughest part of the day).
WonderFold tie-in: Take this tradition on the road! While strolling in the W or L Series Stroller Wagon, ask kids to share their highs and lows of the day. The canopy creates a cozy, safe space that makes sharing feel extra special.
3. Encourage Thank-You Notes
Handwritten notes teach kids to express appreciation thoughtfully. Let your child write (or dictate) a short note for birthdays, holidays, or even after playdates.
Wagon accessory idea: Stock your Flex Snack Tray with colored pencils and cards, so kids can write their thank-yous while riding. It turns wagon time into gratitude time.
4. Model Gratitude Yourself
Kids learn best by watching. Say thank you to cashiers, neighbors, and even your kids. Show them that gratitude is woven into everyday interactions.
Pro tip: Keep small thank-you treats (flowers, cookies, or even kid-drawn pictures) in your Stroller Wagon’s side pockets. Kids can easily grab one to give out when they see an opportunity.
5. Volunteer as a Family
Delivering meals, donating toys, or helping at a local shelter shows kids that kindness matters.
WonderFold advantage: Stroller Wagons make hauling donations simple. Load up canned goods in your L Series or fill the all-terrain W Series with blankets and coats. It becomes a family project made easier and more fun.
6. Create a “Thankful Thursday” Tradition
Pick one day a week where the family shares three things they’re thankful for before bedtime.
On-the-go twist: Do it while you’re out strolling, maybe while pulling your Stroller Wagon at the park or during a neighborhood walk. Add a cozy touch with the WonderFold All Weather Cover for evening gratitude talks.
7. Practice Bedtime Reflections
After stories, ask your kids: “What are three good things that happened today?”
WonderFold connection: If you use your Stroller Wagon for late park strolls or evening events, wind down the ride by asking these questions before heading home. The canopy transforms the Stroller Wagon into a calm reflection zone.
8. Celebrate Acts of Kindness
When your child does something kind, acknowledge it: “That was thoughtful of you. How do you feel when you help others?”
In-Stroller Wagon idea: Kids love handing out snacks or toys during playdates. Keep extras stored in your Flex Snack Tray so they can easily share from their Stroller Wagon.
9. Read Books About Gratitude
Children’s books like The Thank You Book or Gratitude is My Superpower help kids understand thankfulness.
WonderFold Stroller Wagon moment: Bring a few books in your rear storage basket, then park the Stroller Wagon under a shady tree and enjoy a “thankful storytime” together. Add the WonderFold Stroller Wagon canopy extender for extra shade.
10. Turn Gratitude Into Art
Drawing “thankful trees” or seasonal crafts helps visual learners.
WonderFold activity hack: Use the Flex Snack Tray as a mini craft station. Pack washable markers and paper, and let kids create gratitude art while you’re out at the farmer’s market or waiting for sibling’s soccer practice.
Gratitude is more than a polite “thank you.” It’s a way of seeing the world. By weaving WonderFold Stroller Wagons and accessories into your family’s gratitude practices, you’re not just creating memories; you’re making it easier to keep thankfulness at the center of your everyday adventures.
And while November brings the biggest reminder, these practices and your WonderFold can carry your family through all 12 months of the year. Because at the end of the day, gratitude isn’t about what we have, it’s about how we see.
