In a world filled with fear and uncertainty, finding moments of joy and kindness is more important than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought challenges to many individuals and families, from financial hardship to isolation. As Christmas approaches, it is a time to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday season and come together to spread kindness and positivity. One company that is leading the way in spreading smiles this holiday season is Easy Daysies with their innovative magnet sets.
The Power of Kindness
During times of crisis, small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life. Research shows that performing acts of kindness not only benefits the recipient but also has a positive impact on our own mental health and well-being. By teaching our children the value of giving and spreading joy, we can create a ripple effect of kindness that extends far beyond the holiday season.
The Inspiration Behind Easy Daysies
The idea for Easy Daysies Spreading Smiles magnet sets was born out of a desire to make a difference in the lives of children struggling with mental health issues. After learning that 1 in 6 kids suffer from mental health issues and 1 in 4 have anxiety, three siblings came together to brainstorm ways to spread positivity and kindness. The result was a collection of magnetic tiles with positive statements and kind acts that can be easily displayed and shared.
Making a Difference with Positive Affirmations
Positive statements have the power to change our mindset and create a more positive outlook on life. By surrounding ourselves with affirmations of joy, gratitude, and kindness, we can uplift our spirits and spread positivity to those around us. The Easy Daysies magnet sets encourage children to perform random acts of kindness, from sharing a smile with a stranger to helping a friend in need. By practicing these acts of kindness, children can learn the importance of empathy, compassion, and generosity.
Spreading Smiles – Christmas Kindness Countdown
The Spreading Smiles “Christmas Kindness Countdown” pack contains 18 high-quality dry-erase magnets, each with a fun and meaningful task that will brighten someone else’s day – and your family’s in the process.
On the 1st day of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, you can have the kids decorate a room in your home with Christmas crafts they have made or decorate someone’s door with a homemade wreath.
On the 2nd day of Christmas, homemade gifts lift spirits.
Popsicle Stick Grinch Craft for kids
My daughter made these holiday Grinches for our neighbor, her aunt, and Me.
We gathered craft supplies from Dollar Tree for our project. Start by taking six craft sticks and coloring or painting them green. Allow them to dry completely. Once dry, take two halves of a popsicle stick and glue them to the back of the painted craft sticks for added support. Next, cut out a red hat shape from felt or construction paper.
For our Grinch, we used felt to create his features. Attach Santa’s hat to the craft stick face with glue. Then, add a cotton ball to the tip of the hat and glue several cotton balls along the brim. Use a black Sharpie to draw the Grinch’s face. Finally, attach a ribbon to the back so you can hang it on a tree or door!
On the 3rd day, you mail your gift or drop it off to your gift recipient.
Homemade Food Gifts Day 4
This holiday season, consider sharing some heartfelt homemade food gifts. You could bake a batch of cookies and deliver a dozen to grandma, who might be feeling lonely in a retirement or nursing home. My daughter recently shared her homemade cookies with our neighbor, and it brought such joy!
Hot Chocolate in a Jar Day 5
A mason jar filled with hot chocolate makes an ideal cozy gift for the holidays. We found our jars at Dollarama. My daughter filled each jar with packets of Carnation-flavored hot chocolate and tossed in some marshmallows. She also attached a candy cane stir stick to the jar with a ribbon. To finish it off, we added some decorative bows for a festive touch. On day six she gave it to our neighbour.
Feel free to pick and choose from these wonderful kindness ideas! You might have your kids select their top 12 favorites and then count down the kind acts leading up to Christmas Day! I was really impressed with the kit, and the magnets even come in a handy case for easy storage for next year. My adult daughter found the Christmas Kindness Countdown so inspiring that she’s starting her own countdown of kindness.
In conclusion, Easy Daysies Spreading Smiles magnet sets are a wonderful way to inspire children to spread kindness and positivity, both during the holiday season and throughout the year. By teaching our children the value of giving and making a difference in the lives of others, we can create a more empathetic and compassionate society. Let’s come together to spread smiles and make the world a brighter place for all!
