The Kindness Advent — 24 Days of Kindness for Kids + Christmas Organizer | 22 Printable Pages | Ages 3-10 | Letter & A4 Instant Download

Twenty-four kind things to do, instead of twenty-four chocolates.

A printable Christmas advent built around small, free, doable acts of kindness — plus the nine pages that run the rest of a family Christmas.

What you get

• A wall chart with all 24 days on one page, so a child can see the whole of December at once

• The same 24 days as cut-out slips, to fold and put in a jar — a day drawn is far more likely to be done than a day assigned

• Eight blank slips for the ones only your family would think of

• A color-in countdown: 24 numbered baubles, one a night before bed

• A Christmas helper chart — five jobs, five children, because Christmas makes more work and some of it is theirs

• Two letters to Father Christmas: one with a box to draw in for a child who cannot write much yet, one with lines for a child who can

• A giving list, a want/need/wear/read gift list, a Christmas card list, cut-out thank-you notes for the 27th

• A Christmas Eve box checklist, a reindeer food page, a Christmas Day plan, two keepsake pages and a certificate

The kind acts

Say good morning to someone before they say it to you. Put food out for the birds. Give away a toy you have grown out of. Sit with someone who is on their own. Hold the door open for someone. Small, free, and doable by a four-year-old.

Printing

Four PDFs: US Letter and A4, each in a standard and an ink-friendly version. The ink-friendly files use about a third less ink. Every picture in the pack is an outline, so it is cheap to print and a child can color all of it in.

Print single-sided. Set your printer to Actual size, never Fit to page, or the cut lines move.

Instant download

The files are yours the moment you pay — nothing is posted, nothing arrives late. Print them as often as you like, forever, for the children in your own family. Teachers and childminders may print them for the children in their care at no extra cost.

If a page prints badly, or you spot a mistake we have missed, tell us. We will fix it and send you the corrected file. That offer does not expire.
