Kindness Challenge Wrap Up

February 12, 2016 By Dani Wagner 4 Comments

I found this amazing challenge by CoffeeCupsandCrayons and ToddlerApproved called the 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge. Unfortunately the challenge ends this weekend but you can jump on the bandwagon for a few days, try it out at a different time this year, or be sure to join the next 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge in 2017.

Now before I go on…

I have to admit, I’m one of those moms that tries so hard to instill kindness, among other core moral values, into my kiddos on a daily basis, but often struggle myself. Especially when I have reached my breaking point (and my kiddos know just how to get me there quickly). Something I am constantly working on. I don’t want to paint any perfect pictures here, I am an imperfect mama with imperfect kiddos.

With that said, we work on being kind not only to each other but to others outside of our family and friends all year-long. So when I stumbled upon this challenge I knew we had to give it a try. Now, I will admit I don’t think we quite hit the 100 mark but we sure tried and we had a lot of fun!

Why this challenge is amazing

What I love about this challenge is that it requires us to be creative and step outside of our norms. I mean the neighbors might not appreciate plates full of cookies every day!

Another amazing aspect of this challenge is the support group, when/if you decide to join there is a Facebook group that is a constant source or encouragement, support, and absolutely amazing ideas.

Here are just a few of the projects we tackled during this challenge…

bookmarks, kindness, public library

Bookmarks from MomInspiredLife

cookies, kindness, challenge, yum

Making Cookies for Neighbors before a huge snow storm.

postcards, kindness, challenge

Inspired by ToddlerApproved the girls made Postcards for Neighbors, Friends, families, and to leave for strangers!

hearts, love, kindness

Watercolor Hearts to leave in books, and leave for strangers.

kindness, books, thanks, challenge

We donated books to Child Development Watch who can make sure that kids in need have books to read. They provided these cute certificates for the girls.

 

 

NOW here is your challenge…try to do something kind ON PURPOSE once a day or once a week. Making kindness a part of our daily routines will make the biggest impact, not only in the lives of others, but in our own lives as well.

      Thank you Kelly! I agree that teaching our kiddos about kindness is very important. We had such a blast doing it.
