Happy Grams at Home

Try: Invite your child to make a Happy Gram—a little note or drawing that celebrates someone special. Then invite your child to either mail it or deliver it to them as a surprise to brighten that person’s day!

Why: By thinking about what makes others feel loved and happy, your child learns empathy and generosity, and experiences the joy of giving without expecting anything in return.

Paper Benjamin

Try: Invite your child to take a photo of their Paper Benjamin alongside a moment of generosity at home, like sharing or donating their toys or books, or making something special to give to a friend or family member.

Share the photo with friends or family to celebrate generosity or tag @PrimroseSchools on Instagram.

Why: Your child can celebrate and reflect on their kind actions, and learn that generosity is all about thinking of others, helping out, and giving with a happy heart.
