Kindness Bookmarks Challenge
An Excitement-Driven Secret Mission to Spread Joy!
Every child loves a fun bookmark, but these are so much more than placeholders. This printable set turns coloring time into a kindness mission, inviting students to reflect on meaningful messages as they take a mindful moment of creativity.
What makes this activity unforgettable is the secret challenge: once their bookmarks are complete, students sneak off on a covert mission to hide them in the school library for others to discover. It’s a playful way to spread kindness that feels special, a little cheeky, and very rewarding.
Teachers tell us it’s one of those activities kids beg to repeat. It’s a beautiful way to build connection, empathy, and joy in your classroom.

The Kindness Quilt Minna and her classmates have been asked by their teacher, Mrs. Bloom, to work on a Kindness Project. Mrs. Bloom wants them to do and draw and share an act of kindness. Minna and her family do lots of kind things, but Minna can’t decide which one is right for her project. Then she starts writing and drawing and cutting—and an idea for a paper quilt picturing many acts of kindness begins to take shape!
Important lessons about being kind to each other are depicted in NANCY ELIZABETH WALLACE’s charming artwork using origami, recycled paper, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.
