Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on acts of kindness for kids. First, demonstrating acts of kindness helps build character for kids. Furthermore, engaging in kindness activities does the heart good as well as helps a neighbor, family member or friend feel good too.
Acts of Kindness for Kids:
- Participate in Food Drives
- Read to the Elderly at a Nursing Home
- Help at a Food Kitchen
- Become a Pen Pal with our Troops
- Donate Clothing and Toys to a Women’s Shelter or Children’s Home
- Grow Sunflowers for the Birds
- Build a Bird Bath for Backyard Birds
- Make a Flower Bouquet for Your Neighbor
- Mow an Elderly Neighbor’s Grass
- Send a Care Package to Our Troops
- Invite a Classmate to Sit With You at Lunch
- Make a Bird Feeder for Backyard Friends
- Have a Free Car Wash in Your Neighborhood
- Bake Cookies for Our Soldiers
- Volunteer to Help at a Community Garden
- Volunteer to Help Pick up Trash in the Community
- Donate Old Books to a Used Book Store
- Offer to Pull Weeds From Your Neighbors Flower Beds
- Fix Lunch or Dinner for an Elderly Neighbor
- Call Your Grandparents Just to Say Hello and I love You.
Also, acts of money don’t have to require tons of money. Devoting time and a little energy goes a long way. Most importantly, small tokens of kindness, love and care can brighten someone’s day and impact their life in a positive way. So, remember being kind and showing kindness costs very little.
Furthermore, kids can participate in a food drive, grow a pot of flowers for a neighbor, wash a neighbor’s car, bake brownies and cookies for our soldiers. Soldiers who are far away from home service our country would welcome a homemade goodie box. Also, volunteering at a food kitchen can show children how blessed they are to have a warm, comfortable home with a bed and lots of food.
Next, pick an easy flower to grow if you child decides to grow flowers. For example, Marigolds and Impatients are great flowers to grow in containers for the summer. However, the Marigolds love sun and the Impatients love shade.
Last, print my acts of kindness for kids list and have your children pick a few acts that they would like to perform.
