Kids for Kindness: Happy Notes

Focusing on kindness is not as hard as you think. Even simple acts of kindness like these Happy Notes can teach that no matter how old you are you can make a difference in someone’s day. Grab some post-its and markers and spread some kindness today! It’s super easy. I promise.

Acts of Kindness for Kids: Pass out Happy Notes

Happy Notes Act of Kindness

  • post it notes or other small pieces of paper
  • crayons or markers
  • tape (optional depending on where you want to leave the notes)

Spread a little kindness by making and leaving little notes for someone else to find.  The notes can be for members of your family, neighbors, or just random strangers. We wrote ours on post-it notes and then stuck them around town.  Even my youngest could participate by drawing on the notes and my older two loved coming up with the sayings.

This would be a great way to cheer up someone in your own family who could use a little kindness too.  Think of how fun it would be to walk into the bathroom to brush your teeth and see a bunch of Happy Notes!

    Over a year ago, we found a similar note on our car. We still have it posted on the mirror in our living room! My kids love doing this. Love what you are doing with your kids! Great job! You are inspiring others!

      That’s fantastic Sheila!!! My daughter was ecstatic because someone in her class was talking about finding one of the notes we left at the park!

    Such a sweet idea and I completely love how you’ve involved your kids. I’m working on my own random act of kindness. I’m painting some beach stones I’ve collected and I plan to leave them along a beach path I run on. I’ll have to get my two year-old involved and have him put out the stones along the path. I remembered someone doing something similar last year when I found several rocks on that same path with inspirational words written on them. Glad to have found your site!

      That is a fantastic idea! I love that you are passing it on! One of the little girls in my daughter’s class came to school the next day so excited about how her and her brother had found one of our happy notes! She had no idea that we had left them. It was made my daughter’s whole week!
