Whether you’re using kindness elves, the kindness angel, or doing random acts of kindness this Christmas, you need kindness ideas. There are some wonderful ideas online for random acts of kindness Advent calendars and Christmas countdowns. Many of them even have free printables! Here you’ll find 20+ kindness calendar and Christmas countdowns with lots of helpful ideas when you’re looking for ways to spread kindness with your family this Christmas. I know I’ll use lots of these ideas with my 3-year-old granddaughter using our kindness elves.
