The Kindness Elves - An alternative Elf on the Shelf Tradition 💜

in #christmas6 years ago (edited)

The Kindness Elves™ arrive in our home and leave little notes for the kids to find and read (or have read to them if younger.)

They love looking out for kindness in the children and often make a note of it when they see it happening!

They also suggest lots of kind activities that they can do together with the children to show everyone around us that we care for them. Many are simple, everyday gestures such as smiling at everyone we see, saying please and thank you, or holding the door open.

There are also grander gestures of good will, such as filling a box with unwanted books to donate, taking tins of food to the local food bank or choosing a child to sponsor in a less fortunate situation than our own.

The idea is to keep it simple to suit your own family or situation that you are in 💜

Of course, kindness is not just for Christmas and the Kindness Elves™ visit at various points throughout the year! They can even stay year-around if they are much loved. I love the positive impact our little friends are having and the open-ended way that the tradition can be tailored to each family or school setting.
