Let’s spread a little sunshine through snail mail! ✨💌
At Love it Forward List, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference — especially when they come from the heart. One of the sweetest ways kids can help is by creating cheerful, handmade cards filled with love, encouragement, and bright drawings. These cards are sent to people who could really use a smile — and your kind words might be the highlight of their entire week! Whether it’s a picture of a rainbow, a happy message, or a simple “You’re amazing!” — every card is a hug in an envelope.
💌 Tips to Get Kids Involved (Without Sharing Difficult Details):
1. Frame it as Spreading Joy and Love:
Instead of saying “this person is sick or grieving,” say something like: “We’re sending happy mail to someone who could use a big smile today!
2. Focus on the Power of Kind Words:
Explain that words have the power to make people feel loved and cared for — just like how they feel when they get a birthday card or a hug from someone special.
3. Use Themes They Can Relate To:
Invite them to draw cheerful things like rainbows, flowers, sunshine, or animals, and write simple, uplifting messages like:
-
“You are loved!”
-
“I hope this card makes you smile!”
-
“Have a super happy day!”
-
“Sending hugs in an envelope!”
4. Make It a Creative Activity:
Turn it into an art and kindness project. Set up a table with stickers, markers, and colorful paper and envelopes. Let them decorate freely — the joy they put into their creation will shine through. Also, check out those cute postcards here and here.
5. Tell Them They're Helpers:
Kids love to feel helpful and important. You could say: “You’re part of a kindness team! Your card is going to brighten someone’s day in a really big way.”
