There are lots of different ways to be kind so we are starting with being kind to the planet with our sensory bin this week.
This week's letter and alphabet activity is to create some kindness stones, write out some kind words with your preschooler for them to copy onto the stones and then hide them around your neighbourhood.
We have a game to play this week with a simple and quick Kindness Bingo Game that everyone in the family can join in.
Let's spread some kindness with a delicious snack to make together with your preschoolers this week.
