Share With Those in Need

Peppa Pig and Rebecca Rabbit know that sharing can be challenging, but that it feels good when you do it!

Help your child get that feel-good feeling that comes from sharing with others by choosing a few outgrown or unused toys to donate to other children.

Children grow fast and their interests can change and grow, too! Getting in the habit of regularly donating to local charities will help your child learn to feel good about helping others in need. 

It can be hard for children to let go of their possessions. Choosing to donate even one toy is a step in the right direction!

Parent/Caregiver Tip: You can be a role model for your child by donating some of your clothes or gear to charity, too! Pack a bag or two with clothes and household items that you no longer need and bring the kids along to deliver the bags to a local charity.
