Description

This all-in-one craft kit includes the materials needed to complete a meaningful service project that is age appropriate and teaches children compassion for the world and all its people. Through creative, hands-on activities that encourage empathy, children will experience the joy of sending messages of care to others.


The kit includes:

- Family Love Notes: Decorate an adorable kid-sized tin mailbox with letters, numbers, and lots of shapes. Use the included "Family Love Notes" stationary and special pen to leave sweet messages to other family members in the mailbox.

- Send Kids the World: 
Personalize an assortment of cards and postcards with vibrant watercolor paints and send some happy mail to a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness through the organization Send Kids the World.

- The Giant Hug by Sandra Horning: 
Make story time extra rewarding with this lovely tale of a young pig who arranges to send his grandmother a hug in the mail. The book is accompanied by a reading guide that helps deepen reading comprehension. 


- Delicious Delivery: Show you care by delivering a home-made treat to a neighbor, teacher, or friend in our special baked goods container.


The kit also includes reflection questions to help deepen the experience for families and ideas on how to extend giving back and make it an on-going part of your family culture.


The habit of caring is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child and, one of the biggest ways you can influence your community. As a parent, it can be challenging to teach children about compassion and social responsibility in a way that is meaningful and age appropriate. As much as one can talk about being kind to others, being good stewards of the earth, and taking care of animals, many families are looking for ways to take it to the next level yet cannot seem to find the time to volunteer and want to offer their children an opportunity to help not just monetarily. Crafts With Kindness kits create this incredibly meaningful experience you are looking for. What is better than the fact that in the midst of your busiest day, you know that you are working on developing a socially responsible child and you do not even have to come up with either the idea or who it will benefit?


Creative service projects can inspire children to get excited about problem-solving to help another person so put your child’s imagination to work and make giving back an on-going part of your family culture.
