Acts of Kindness: Easter Egg Messages

I am so excited about today’s acts of kindness for kids idea!  Not only is it fantastic, it is also from one of my very dear, real-life friends, Courtney.  She was at the soccer practice with her boys last week and came across some plastic Easter eggs with kindness messages inside!  The eggs made their day and they decided to pay it forward and make some kindness eggs for others to find too!

Eggs of Kindness: An Easter Acts of Kindness Idea for Kids

After spreading Eggs of Kindness throughout with her kids in her community she also agreed to do an Acts of Kindness for Kids Hangout with me on Google Plus!  Check out the video–we had so much fun chatting about how to use something as simple as a plastic egg to teach our kids about spreading kindness to others!

My kids have been obsessed with leaving Happy Notes for people so, of course, they loved the idea of hiding eggs filled with kindness messages all of town.  We can’t wait to use some of our leftover plastic eggs for acts of kindness this week!

    What a great idea! Some friends snuck into our yard on Friday and set up a surprise egg hunt for my kids. They loved that!
