Treat or Treat for Halloween with The Kindness Elves! Halloween is coming up soon and the Kindness Elves love to find some Random Acts of Kindness that can be done at this fun time! Instead of Trick or Treat they call it Treat or Treat, as there will be no mean tricks when they're around, just plenty of opportunities to spread kindness and love!

In 2016, Sesame Workshop (the makers of Sesame Street) conducted a national survey in the United States, quizzing parents and teachers about the concept of kindness. They were exploring something that we’ve probably all thought about at one time or another: If kindness is something society values, how come there seems to be so little of it around?

The Kindness Elves come with their own little house, which includes a working mailbox. This feature has been put to marvellously creative use by both teachers and parents, and we’d like to share some of those ideas with you. If you have other thoughts for how to make the best use of the Kindness Elves mailbox, be sure to share them with us as we are always very happy to hear from you.

With the summer holidays upon us, it can be challenging to find things to keep the children busy. We’ve come up with a Kindness Scavenger Hunt that we hope will capture their imagination while engaged in simple tasks and acts of kindness.

The Kindness Elves think this is a perfect reason to celebrate and to spread some lovely acts of kindness far and wide to all of the mummies in the UK!

February 17th is International Day of Random Acts of Kindness and the world certainly seems to need plenty of those right now. We want to encourage our kids to show love, kindness and respect to all and the Kindness Elves have a lovely idea for encouraging this in the coming month, using JUST our words! The challenge will be to use our written and spoken words to focus on building each other up, letting people know how much we value them and how grateful we are. There's a magical power in words!

On day 2 our kindness Elves have suggested that we start to fill a box with food and toiletries to drop off at the local food bank. We are fortunate in that we have one just 5 minutes from our home so it is a place we can take things to easily.
