How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's talk about something happy! Ask your child, 'What's one thing that made you smile today?'

  2. 2

    Now let's turn that happy thought into something colorful! Help your child draw or write it on a piece of colored paper. Say, 'Let's make this happy thought bright and beautiful!'

  3. 3

    Now let's think about tomorrow! Ask your child, 'What's one thing you're looking forward to tomorrow?'

  4. 4

    Let's add our hopeful thought to the jar! Help your child place both papers in the jar. Say, 'Now we have a jar full of happy and hopeful thoughts!'
