My 3-year-old granddaughter, Zoey, loves the Kindness Elves … and I love to find new ways to use them to encourage kindness throughout the year. I was excited to see that Anna from the Imagination Tree (the founder of the Kindness Elves) has a new post with 25 spring acts of kindness ideas! One of the ideas (and free printables) is for a sweet Easter egg kindness project.

Materials Used for Easter Egg Kindness Project with the Kindness Elves
- Kindness Elves (They come in a number of different options for skin, hair, and clothing color!)
- The Story of the Kindness Elves (I often now use this book to introduce a kindness challenge.)
- “Let’s fill plastic eggs with surprise messages for people you love!” kindness suggestion card from free acts of kindness suggestion cards for spring at the Imagination Tree
- Easter basket (or any type of basket to hold the plastic eggs)
- Plastic Easter eggs (mine have small, medium, and large nesting eggs in each color, but any kind will work)
- Small note paper
- Colored pencils or other writing tools
Encouraging Kindness with the Easter Egg Kindness Project
Kindness Elves with Easter Egg Kindness Project
The spring kindness suggestion “Let’s fill plastic eggs with surprise messages for people you love!” is a fun and easy idea to use. It was an especially easy project to prepare, since I already had plastic Easter eggs, an Easter basket, small note paper, and colored pencils.
Writing an Easter Egg Surprise Message
Zoey had fun writing special messages for loved ones.
Hiding a Surprise Message in an Easter Egg
She folded each message and put it a set of nesting eggs. We both enjoyed the Easter egg kindness project … another way to encourage kindness throughout the year!
