Kindness Tree - The Best Random Acts of Kindness Tree Project

Making a Kindness Tree for your home or classroom is so much fun. Think of it as a Random Act of Kindness for everyone in your life. It’s a simple activity to teach random acts of kindness for kids and also to show them that small acts of kindness do matter.

The best part about this kindness craft is that it’s one that you can create and leave up all year long. The acts of kindness that keep on giving. We like to do this and have it sitting out on our counter for a daily reminder of how easy it is to make someone smile and to be kind to others.

Kindness Tree – The Best Kindness Tree Project

A Kindness Tree is a creative and beautiful way to encourage acts of kindness. The tree leaves become kind deeds written on paper hearts. You can also make this same kindness tree in the fall and use different colored paper in the shape of leaves.

Celebrate and encourage kind and helpful acts at home or in the classroom.

Creating this kindness tree together as a family or group is a true bonding experience. Plus, it’s one of my favorite ideas for Random Acts of Kindness.

While a kindness tree works perfectly at home, it’s also an excellent idea for Random Acts of Kindness Ideas for School as well. Having the kids do this in the classroom is a fun way to spread kindness to everyone in the class and even school.

How to Make a Kindness Tree

Start by tracing several hearts out, onto your card stock, and cut them out. As many as you like.

If you are doing this in a classroom make sure you have at least one heart for every child. If you are doing this at home you might want to consider having a basket of hearts near the tree for anyone in the family to add kind notes when they want to.

Have your children write out several compliments and kind messages onto each heart with a marker. They can do this activity at one time or whenever they want to make someone smile.

Using your hole punch, place a hole in the top center of each heart.

Place a piece of twine through each hole. I made mine all different lengths.
