Random Acts of Kindness For Kids are brilliant, they inspire kids, motivate them and delight them. I have some brilliant examples in this post for you
Random acts of kindness week and an absolutely awesome thing to get children involved in. Kindness is scientifically proven to make both the giver and receiver happier and to help them feel more connected so really it is the perfect antidote to the lockdown blues.
Have a look at my TEDx talk on how to raise kind kids to see how passionate I am about this!

Lovely lockdown kindness Random Acts of Kindness Ideas For Kids
During the first lockdown, my kids decorated cardboard heart wreaths with positive messages and when we went on our walk, we tied them to people’s front gates.
Lots of people posted in our local group saying they had found them and it had brightened their day. Www.Coffeecakekids.Com
We took the opportunity to use our crafting skills and we created pictures using all things cheery … glitter,sunshine, rainbows and then more glitter! We then sent them to the children’s grandmothers care home to be distributed to the residents. We received some beautiful photos of the residents with their pictures and the impact it made on their day was clear to see. Just wonderful. http://Www.bestlodgeswithhottubs.co.uk
We have printed colouring sheets and coloured them before sending to our local nursing and residential homes www.boorooandtiggertoo.com
