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.
Reading Her Manners Booklet to the Kindness Elves
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.
