If you come here often, you may have noticed that we LOVE subscription boxes. I’ve tried many and love most of them from crafts to learning about the world. I’ve never come across one, however, that offers the kiddos a learning opportunity about giving and kindness. Little Loving Hands is the first service I’ve come across that teaches kids about different causes and supplies them with the materials needed to make a gift for others. A few of the organizations they have supported include:
- Ronald McDonald House
- Military Kids
- Hearts for the Homeless
- Tote Bags and Flowers for the Elderly through The Capital Area Food Bank
- Baby Toys for expecting mothers in Haiti
- Together We Rise for foster children
Like other subscription services, they offer a few different options from a monthly subscription to a yearly one. Each month a new spotlight organization and craft will be sent for kids to create, learn, and then donate to a worthy cause. As an added bonus, the purchase of every box can be submitted for a charitable tax-deduction!
Once your child learns about the organization for that month and completes their craft, you’re provided with a pre-paid return envelope for it to be sent off to someone in need. This is such a great idea, and I’m glad I stumbled across it. I can’t think of many more rewarding lessons than to teach my daughter about showing kindness, compassion, and giving back.

Dreams Really Do Come True
Help a foster child dream big and reach for the stars.
