One Cool Kindness Kit

Make this Thanksgiving season (and beyond!) the coolest one yet by celebrating positivity, kindness, and, of course, gratitude . . . with some ideas inspired by the gang from One Cool Duck.

One Cool Duck is an early reader graphic novel series by Mike Petrik.

Beaded Bracelets for Your Buddies

Set a message of positivity this Thanksgiving. Kids can pass on the good vibes by stringing beaded bracelets with fun slogans and sharing them with their friends. Better yet, make it a bracelet beading party so that kids can make ’em and trade ’em. Our coolest examples: 

  • POW
  • SICK TRICK
  • COOL CAT
  • SWEET
  • FIRE
  • DOPE
  • YO DOG
  • FAR OUT
  • GG/GOOD GAME
  • Or, make up your own words or phrases!

Commit to a Cool Cause

It’s cool to help others! Here are some fun ways kids can help give back to their community this holiday season:

  • create birthday/holiday boxes for kids in shelters
  • read to rescue animals
  • host a lemonade stand to raise money for a favorite cause
  • participate in USPS Operation Santa
  • sponsor a child through Toys for Tots, Angel Tree (Salvation Army), or Angel Tree (Prison Fellowship)

One Cool Scavenger Hunt

We don’t have to look very far to find a cornucopia of things to be thankful for! Encourage kids to cultivate a regular attitude of gratitude with this cool scavenger hunt.

Kind is Cool Bingo

Celebrate small but mighty acts of kindness with a bangin’ game of bingo. Kids can brainstorm their own kindness ideas to add to this Kind is Cool bingo card.
