Using Manners Printables for 100 Acts of Kindness and the Kind Words Challenge with the Kindness Elves
My 3-year-old granddaughter, Zoey, and I are doing both the 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge and the Kind Words Challenge with the Kindness Elves. Free manners printables are great for kindness projects as well as to reinforce good manners at any time.
We got out our manners materials from last year, and Zoey had fun reading the free manners matching cards we’d made into a book to the Kindness Elves.

These days my focus is to remind my 5 year old to look into the adult’s eyes when they’re greeting them. Cuz kids usually look down or away and no body gets to hear them at all!
