Posted On: April 14, 2020

How Can Kids Be Spreading Kindness During Hard Times?  This question comes up so often.  Here are some fun engaging opportunities to get outside, learn, and be kind!

Chalk The Walk

Create chalk art on the sidewalks near your home.  Include cheerful, bright designs and messages.  It might even be fun to add a little obstacle course elements like dots for stepping on or lines to jump over.

Create Coloring Sheets for Friends

Draw or doodle a coloring sheet.  Scan it and send it via email to friends.  You can get this one in my FREE Printable Library HERE.

Connect with a Grandparent

Practice reading to a grandparent or loved one over Facetime or Skype. The person on the other end with be so incredibly grateful.

Start a Rainbow Hunt in Your Town

Create a rainbow and hang it in your window, on your door or in the yard.  People out walking or passing by can be on the lookout for all of the different handmade rainbows.

Get a Box of Donations Together

Clean out those clothes stashes, toys and outgrown items.  Put them in a box to donate when the time is right.  Maybe even decorate the box.
