Toddler Approved is hosting a wonderful project called the 100 Acts of Kindness Project. I love the idea of JDaniel and I doing things for others between Jan. 15th and Valentine’s Day. Each week she puts up a challenge for you to complete as some of your 100 Acts of Kindness.
I decided to try to do the challenges she purposed along with working on acts of kindness I would like JDaniel to master like not having a tantrum when I say it is “Quiet Time” in the afternoon and cleaning his room without fussing. Yes, I am straying from the project, but boy has JDaniel toned down his fussing.
Recording Acts of Kindness
The first thing we were asked to do was come up with a way to record our acts of kindness. I decided we would do three things to keep track of our kindness.
- Create a record sheet to write down what we did. I decided that we needed to show kindness to family, our community, and our world.
- Mark off a number box on a hundred grid each time we did an act of kindness.
- Savor the act of kindness by eating a jelly bean from a bottle labeled with the people group we helped.
This Week’s Challenge
Make 5 “Thank You” cards and give them to people you’ve never thought to thank before.
What did we do?
JDaniel and I made thank you cards for his Sunday school teachers. We haven’t thanked them for all the work they do each Sunday with him.
On Monday Toddler Approved will be posting the next challenge for the week. I will be posting how we met that challenge next Saturday. I hope you will join me in the challenge!
What a great idea, and his salad spinner art turned out so cute!
Wonderful! That is such a great idea. And you are so creative too! Love it! 🙂
What a wonderful way to spread kindness! Love the salad spinner art. We have a salad spinner dedicated to crafts and one for foods.
