Superhero Character Building Kits For Children’s Hospitals
We saw a need to create and provide character building activity kits in 2019 just before the pandemic struck. Once the pandemic changed our way of living, the need for these engaging Superhero Character Building Activity Kits became even greater.
Our Superhero Character Building Activity Kits allow children to use their imagination in the best of ways during a stay or visit that could be quite scary.
Each kit includes everything the child needs - they do not need to share materials. Our Kits are more than just a distraction - the contents provide all of the materials needed to complete an art activity, include positive visual reinforcements, a confidence boosting superhero mask — all while the child is learning, internalizing, and learning to display positive character attributes.
Mindfulness for Military Families
One of our nine Characters is Self-Esteem Elephant who focuses on the trait of confidence. Self-Esteem Elephant recently started to explore what a powerful tool affirmations are!
With our Affirmation Kit, children are working on building their confidence and creating a positive self image while they are also enhancing reading and writing skills, further developing their social and emotional skills, learning what it means to make good decisions, and even working on their fine motor skills.
More information coming soon.
