Inside: This flower kindness craft and friendship flower are the perfect way to show friends they are loved and to spread more kindness.


My youngest daughter is lucky enough to have a bestie. Not a ‘we like each other and like to play with each other’ kind of friend. But a ‘I’ve got your back,  you are my favorite person’ bestie.

And they’re six and seven years old.

Maybe it’s because they’ve been friends since they were two.

Maybe it’s because their parents and siblings are also super close.

But these two girls have an incredible bond.

Sure they bicker and fight. Especially over anything sparkly or having to do with unicorns.

But one day, after they were arguing over a scooter and helmet, in one breath, my daughter’s friend said: “We’ll still be best friends even if we argue and even if we’re mad and even if I take your stuff, right?” 

And a fun way they can share why they’re so tight is with this friendship flower my daughter made for her bestie.

My daughter listed off everything she loves about her friend and when she gives her the flower craft tomorrow, my daughter will be spreading smiles and spreading kindness.

This flower kindness craft is perfect for one friend and perfect for classrooms and camps and Scout groups.

This flower craft is a great friendship craft that friends can make for each other to spread kindness. It's a great kindness activity for kid to tell their friends why they appreciate them. #craftideas #kindnessactivitiesforkids #kindnessactivities #flowercrafts #springcrafts #friendscrafts

How Kindness Crafts Can Spread Kindness

We are on purpose raising our kids to be kind. It’s so important to us, being kind is one of our only 2 family rules.

We talk about kindness with these 60 Kindness Discussion Starters, we read books about kindness and we do 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge. 

But sometimes it can be hard for kids to remember to act and speak with kindness.

So we also encourage our kids to say this Kindness Promise and we send them to school with these Kindness Lunch Box Notes. 

And we can teach our kids to slow down and take the time to compliment their friends and showcase what they love about their friends.

We also help our kids learn how to be a good friend and how to determine if their friends are good, true, real friends with this checklist. 

Help your kids decide for themselves who their good, real, true friends are with this friendship checklist to help them deal with friendship issues.

We also make these Friendship Flowers and give them to good friends.

    This is such a sweet craft. I remember in middle school my guidance counselor had everyone in the class write a nice thing about every other member of the class. He compiled them and presented a list of “appreciated features/traits” to each student; it felt great and really boosted our self esteems! This flower kindness craft is such a lovely age-appropriate activity!

    Not sure if this is a way to spam emails but I’ve tried with two different emails and nothing is being sent to me.
