How to Make a Kindness Tree
Start by tracing several hearts out, onto your card stock, and cut them out. As many as you like.
If you are doing this in a classroom make sure you have at least one heart for every child. If you are doing this at home you might want to consider having a basket of hearts near the tree for anyone in the family to add kind notes when they want to.
Have your children write out several compliments and kind messages onto each heart with a marker. They can do this activity at one time or whenever they want to make someone smile.
Using your hole punch, place a hole in the top center of each heart.
Place a piece of twine through each hole. I made mine all different lengths.
