Jodie Cooper developed the kindness calendar back in 2015 as a simple way to show her kids what really mattered at Christmas time. The idea grew, and now there are three calendars available, each with 24 Random Acts of Kindness to be ticked off in the lead up to Christmas. Simply download a calendar to get started.

The intention of the calendar is to inspire kindness. We’d like to start conversations that shift mindsets and enable children to see what’s important at Christmas. As our lives become increasingly busy and Christmas comes with an emphasis on consumerism, the kindness calendar brings an opportunity to teach and model kindness at home, work and school.
