Looking for a fun activity to do with your little one that will inspire creativity and cultivate kindness? Look no further than Poppy & Posie's Garden of Kindness activity -- a special printable activity designed to get kids engaging in acts of kindness each day to develop a lifelong appreciation for how being kind to others makes the world a more wonderful, colorful place.
So what’s a Garden of Kindness, you ask? And how can you grow one? Well, a Garden of Kindness is a DIY activity for kids and families where you grow a “garden” full of beautiful flowers of kindness by doing something kind each day. To grow a garden of kindness, all you need to do is . . .
Download and print out Poppy & Posie's Garden of Kindness activity sheet by clicking here.
Each day of the week, write down one kind act you performed that day inside the corresponding flower (for example, if on Tuesday you held the door open for a friend, write "Held the door for a friend" inside the flower labeled Tuesday).
After writing down an act of kindness, color in the flower to make it BLOSSOM!
Watch as your activity sheet grows into a beautiful Garden of Kindness.
By being kind to others, we bring happiness to those around us, ourselves, and in turn, make the world a kinder, more wonderful, colorful place -- and what better way to see this than by growing a wonderful, colorful Garden of Kindness! We encourage you to try growing not just one Garden of Kindness, but to turn Poppy & Posie's special activity into a family tradition where you write out a list of kind acts every Monday to inspire a week full of kindness. See how many gardens you can grow!
