Kindness Eggs Printable Activity

Our Wildering Nook Kindness Eggs printable activity offers a gentle blend of art, creativity, and emotional learning, designed to help children (and adults!) explore what kindness really means. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to slow down and connect – with ourselves, with each other, with the planet, and with all living things. This inclusive resource is designed for anyone to use and enjoy, no matter your background, beliefs, or educational approach.

Inside you’ll find 24 beautifully designed kindness eggs for children to colour, decorate, and make their own. On the back of each egg is an open ended act of kindness – gentle prompts that encourage children to pause, reflect, and choose how they might express care or compassion. These acts can be explored in a way that suits the child’s age, personality, and environment. They aren’t rules or fixed instructions, but creative invitations to engage with the world kindly and thoughtfully.

You’ll also find 4 blank eggs, perfect for children to come up with their own ideas. These open up even more possibilities for creativity and self-expression. Kids can reflect on what kindness looks like in their everyday lives, write their own acts, and build a growing collection of kind ideas. You’re welcome to print more of these blank eggs as needed – there’s no limit to how many times you can use them. The more kindness in the world, the better!

To keep everything together, we’ve included a beautiful printable egg box template. This can be cut out, coloured in, and folded into a little box where children can store their eggs. It adds a sense of care and ritual to the experience – something that children can return to over time, or share with others. The finished box becomes a keepsake, a personal collection of kind intentions, and a visual reminder of their capacity to make a difference.

This activity pack also comes with clear and easy-to-follow instructions, along with thoughtful suggestions for how to bring the eggs into daily life. It’s ideal for use in many different settings – homeschooling, unschooling, classrooms, early childhood centres, or simply in family life. Whether you’re using it as a one-off creative project, part of a social-emotional learning focus, or something you return to throughout the year, the resource is designed to meet you where you are.

There’s no right or wrong way to use the Kindness Eggs. Some children might enjoy choosing one egg each morning to focus on. Others might share them with siblings or friends, swap them in a kindness challenge, or display them somewhere special. Some might keep a few tucked into a journal or lunchbox. The eggs can be used quietly and personally, or as part of a group or community project. Because they are open-ended and reusable, they offer lasting value and can evolve with your child over time.

And while it was designed with children in mind, we warmly invite adults to join in too. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, caregiver, or just someone wanting to bring more thoughtfulness into your own daily routine, this activity can be just as meaningful for grown-ups. Acts of kindness don’t have an age limit, and sometimes, the smallest gestures create the biggest ripple.
