Fill a jar with 10 things you like about someone and give it to them as a gift!
Materials Needed:
- Empty jar with lid
- Paper
- Pens
- Scissors

Instructions:
Is there someone in your life who deserves an extra special shout out? Perhaps a grandparent, teacher or special helper? Think of 10 things you really like and admire about that person and write those onto individual strips of paper. Once they're all written, drop them into a clean jar with a lid.
Make a label for the front of the jar and write "10 things that make you great!" on the front. Give the kindness jar to your recipient and watch their smile as they read the lovely messages!

Tell your parents that you love them!
Instructions:
Well, this act of kindness couldn't be simpler could it?! So often we don't stop to tell our parents that we love them or why we are so thankful for them.
Can you take a moment today to stop, give your parents a hug and say "I love you! Thank you for everything you do for me!" You will absolutely make their day.
