If you’ve noticed that a new kid in school is having trouble making friends, or if a neighbor or family member has been feeling blue, send them a happiness kit. 

Start with an old shoebox, mug, or an empty basket not being used for something else. Next, fill it with a few things that you think might bring this person joy.  Maybe a joke book, a mug with a smiley face on it, some fresh fruit, a kindness rock, or other items you think they’ll enjoy. Finish it off with a handwritten note of kindness to the person who is feeling blue. When it’s all ready, leave it in a place where you know your friend will find it.

What You’ll Need to Complete this Adventure:

• Paper, Pencils, Markers, Stickers and other craft supplies to make cards and to decorate the box

• gently used books to pass along

• a shoe box or other small box

• Cost: $-$$
