Welcome to day 1 of our Random Acts of Christmas Kindness Challenge!
Today’s challenge is super-fun: taping quarters to a gumball machine. My kids were really excited about this one! How fun would it be for a kid to spy some quarters for a free grocery-store treat? I bet it would make their day!
Supplies needed for today’s Random Act of Christmas Kindness
-
Printer (Ideally print the cards in color if you can.)
- Cardstock or printer paper
- Crayons or colored pencils
- Scissors
- Painter’s Tape
-
At least 4-8 quarters (or more if you can afford it)
A behind-the-scenes look at our day
First, the kids colored their kindness cards.
Next, we gathered our cards, quarters, and painter’s tape and headed out in search of a grocery store that had gumball machines.
Confession: We went to THREE grocery stores before we found one with gumball machines!
Once we got there, the kids taped their cards to the machine and I helped add the quarters. Easy peasy!
Two excited kiddos!
Pro tips to make today’s challenge go smoothly
- Gather all your supplies ahead of time. (We lost the painter’s tape!)
- Scope out your location beforehand. If you’re not sure that your local grocery store has gumball machines, give them a call and ask. (Did I mention we went to 3 stores before we found gumball machines? Haha!)
- Before you head out, place all your supplies in a reusable bag. (We left the cards in the car and had to make another trip from the store to the parking lot! #momfail!)
