5 Glittery, Giggly & Global Ways to Cultivate a Heart of Gratitude
Ready for a fun twist on the gratitude game? Dive into our 5 unique activities that mix global flair with glittery, giggly fun—perfect for cultivating a grateful heart in our little one.
Pom-Pom Gratitude Jar—With a Global Twist. Start with our classic gratitude jar but make it a world tour. Every time your little one shows kindness, add a pom-pom and share a fun fact about gratitude from around the world. Maybe it’s bowing in Japan or sharing a meal in Italy—it’s a fabulous way to grow a grateful heart and a global mindset.
Grateful Heart World Tour: Transform your living room into a gratitude spot. Each week, pick a country and explore how they express thanks. Create a passport for your little one, stamping it with glitter for each county visited.
Thank You Art Gallery, International Edition: Create tank-you notes inspired by global gratitude symbols—Chinese knots, Native American dream catchers or what have you. Spark creativity with a pen or a watercolor brush. Discuss each symbol’s cultural significance as you craft.
Gratitude Groove Around the World: Giggle it with a Gratitude Dance where each act of kindness is celebrated with its own energetic hops or twirls. Getting inspiration from cultures around the world for these gratitude dances is fun and a must.
Bingo with Benefits, the Gratitude Edition. Draw up Bingo cards with squares showing different acts of kindness across cultures. Dab a square with glitter (or a heart of gratitude) for an act well done. Each row completed wins its own small but meaningful reward.
And yes, gratitude is its own reward. But each pom-pom, passport stamp, artistic creation, dance move, and Bingo square brings us closer to nurturing our little one’s grateful heart. Isn’t that something to be thankful for? ✨💖🌏👩👧👦💃🎨🌐🎉
