Not too long ago, I read about this idea in Family Fun magazine to have your kids create a "crayon masterpiece" and send it in to
Color A Smile - a non-profit organization that distributes children's artwork to nursing home residents and Meals on Wheels recipients. What a neat service opportunity for little helping hands!
Just print out
the coloring sheets, gather up your kiddos (and even your kiddos' friends), and let them draw and color their little hearts out! We ended up with about twenty "masterpieces" to send, and the kids were all really excited to know that they were helping to make someone smile. :)
This is awesome. Friday I was thinking about doing a service project because I grounded my boys from games. My idea was to make Valentines to take to a nursing home (although I wondered if it was too early to deliver Valentines). We ended up going to the recycle center and library to rent movies. But I will totally remember this!!! Thanks!
