So you saw my recent post with the 50 advent acts of kindness with the two free printable sets designed by the lovely Purple Pumpkin blog. Well I wanted to share with you ways to display them or use them.
We tried to make it easy for you all by offering them in two different sizes (A4 and US letter size) in addition to two designs christmas trees and also gift tags. We love Anna from The Imagination Trees Kindness Elves and this would be a great list to use for
Kindness Jars
Rather like our bored jars, the kindness kars are simply the Advent acts of kindness all printed off, so you can pick one out at random to complete that day. To pretty up the jars I simply wrapped some festive ribbon round them. This is the perfect way to use the acts of kindness for people who like a little spontaneity.
An Advent tree display
We have a chalk wall in the kitchen and I thought this was the ideal place to display our advent acts of kindness trees. |I used little wooden tree pegs we had and simply blue tac’d them to the wall. This would work well on any surface and we topped it with a lovely star decoration that we had.
Hanging Advent Calendar
Again we used small pegs, but strung them on to cord and then hung them on the wall. This would work really well using the tag style printables and our advent stockings that I made.
So these are my ideas, I would love to know how you might use them or display them.
Your Commentsooh I love the jars they’re pretty and have given me an idea on how to display other things too! X

I’ve just bought some Father Christmas pegs to display ours taken from your fab printable!

Love this idea Jen, it’s right up my street!
We have a material advent calendar much like your hanging stockings that I bought from a Christmas market in Germany last year. I love the idea of filling it with acts of kindness – think that will really appeal to Bubby D x
Love the hanging one, looks gorgeous 🙂
REally lovely idea, I think it celebrates the true spirit of Christmas. I especially like the kindness jar.
Now they are clever and lovely ideas.
I love the idea of the random acts of kindness. I think the jar would work best for us 🙂

Your suggestions are perfect. Not sure I can come up with anything better.
This is such a nice idea and a fantastic way to teach your children about being kind to others. Love your blackboard wall as well, you really made it look like one big advent calendar.
