30 Days of Grateful Giving

Join us for the 30 Days of Grateful Giving November Challenge!


We think November is the perfect time to help our kids grow their gratitude and kindness, so we've created this challenge as a fun way to make a daily act of kindness a priority all month long.

Choose 30 acts of kindness from the list below. You can simply print off the list, or for extra fun, write each act you choose on a feather. We plan to have our kids choose a feather to determine the act of kindness for the day. When the act is completed, they can add the feather to their Kindness Turkey. So at the end of the month, the turkey will be full of feathers from all the acts of kindness!
