I was never comfortable with the idea of the Elf on the Shelf. I don’t like the idea of Christmas being dependent on good behavior, for one thing. And I think the Elf on the Shelf is a little creepy. So I was excited to discover an alternative to Elf on the Shelf with Kindness Elves. I love the idea of helping kids focus on kindness at Christmas.
I never found a great source for Kindness Elves, though. Then Anna from The Imagination Tree (the creator of the original Kindness Elves), began selling Kindness Elves.
Where to Find The Original Kindness Elves
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links (at no cost to you).
I purchased and used Anna’s Kindness Elves with my granddaughter last year. We both loved the original Kindness Elves. This year, there are 11 different options of Kindness Elves … with different colors of skin, hair, and clothing! They even come with their own little house and at a very reasonable price. I’m so excited about them that I became an affiliate.
The original Kindness Elves are awesome! Plus there’s something new that makes the Kindness Elves easier and even more fun!
There’s a new Kindness Elves™ Accessories Pack (limited quantity)! It contains:
- Visual Step-By-Step Guide for Parents about using the Kindness Elves and Accessories
- 50 Acts of Kindness Cards (including 10 blank for your own ideas)
- Little Book of Big Kindnesses
- Mini Postcards for the Kindness Elves to write to the children
- 8 Sheets of Stickers
- Bottle of Magic Sprinkles
