GRATITUDE JOURNALS
Our kid and teen gratitude journals have been created to help guide elementary to middle and high school age kids to recognize and be thankful for the big and simple things in their life. These 100-page journals have a high-quality cardstock cover with heavy weight 80# paper pages inside. There are 4 packs to choose from - individual journals to purchase and 12 packs, both for kids or for teens.
The journals feature daily prompts to gauge how their day is going, with spaces to record things they are grateful for, as well as doodling space to draw and sketch. Inspirational quotes are sprinkled throughout. The cover illustrations are black & white for coloring and personalization. The About Me page encourages them to make the journal their own and express what makes them unique. Daily pages are not dated, so this journal can be started and continued as works for each child.

Inspirational Messages to Brighten the Day
Encouraging messages and a reminder to be positive throughout the day can have an impact on your community. We've gathered a few of our favorite suggestions for you that are affordable and easy ways for individuals to express their kindness artistically and share with others to build a positive environment.
Write messages and color on our wood pendants or string your fuse bead creations to create a hanging ornament (which won't melt in the sun), then hang them on trees or plants in your community for others to enjoy. Doodle a fun quote on a post-it note and leave them in a lobby, hallway, or common area. Have a walkway or path? Make it a kindness path and use our sidewalk chalk to deliver inspirational messages.

MAKE A KINDNESS BRACELET
What better way to show someone you're thinking about them that lasts longer than a smile, than a bracelet built with love! We have dozens of beads to choose from, but these are a few of our favorites that fit along right with our Kindness theme.
Coloring with a Purpose
Coloring is fun and relaxing, but there is something special behind coloring to give. Although we have hundreds of items to color and paint in our Velvet Art and Color Me product lines, we love the featured items below. Our Velvet Art To Go allows for Kindness On-the-Go. There are Velvet Art images on one side and an area to write a quote and leave your name on the back. Both our Good Vibes Craft Kit cards and our Greetings Cards are perfect to help make someone's birthday special, wish them well, congratulate them, celebrate something or just because. Then of course our Color Me Blank Puzzles. We love writing inspiring quotes on these with bold colors so that the puzzle maker can smile when they read the special note we've left them.

Encourage members, students or residents to write compliments on these colorful craft sticks to place in a jar, as well as take one when they need to brighten their day.
Whether it is a local charity, a family or individual that needs support or a national non-profit organization - encouraging those in your program and community to give back is important.
