Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time of year, children start thinking about all the things they want for Christmas and begin writing lists and letters to Santa. This year, instead of only thinking of what <em>they<\/em> want, help your children recognize how much they get by&nbsp;<em>giving to others<\/em>! Teach your kids that <strong>there are so many different ways to give.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Here are 25 ways to give as a family this year.<\/strong> T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hese ideas are perfect for families of all sizes, and most of these activities can be done with toddlers and little kids!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This list has volunteering ideas for toddlers and young kids as well as ways they can give and help others in their community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try doing all of these activities in December (one for each day until Christmas), or you could pick and choose just a few that work for your family and go from there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want this list in a 1-page printable, it's available at the bottom of this article! Just make to read through the list first to get all the tips for each volunteering opportunity with kids.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1. Rake leaves or shovel snow for a neighbor<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you&rsquo;ll end up doing most of the work. But giving your child a shovel, a rake, or a broom to help out and doing it as a family will bring joy and pride to your little one and teach them how important it is to help a neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Clear the table *or* return the shopping cart<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time you go to a self-serve restaurant, have your children offer to clear someone else&rsquo;s table. It will bring such joy to both your child and the person they are serving, plus it&rsquo;s something &ldquo;<em>I can do all by myself<\/em>&rdquo; for those independent children!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If this is not an option for you right now, try showing your child how important it is to put the shopping cart back and how it helps the people who work at the store and also helps the <em>next<\/em> family have a shopping cart for their groceries.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5540\" src=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/kid-returning-shopping-cart.jpg\" alt=\"boy returning shopping cart in a parking lot\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Looking for ways to give back as a family and teach your kids the importance of giving?

Create a care package for someone who is unable to leave the house during the holidays<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year is especially difficult for those who are unable to be with family and friends for various reasons. Put together a basket with snacks, nice warm socks, books, puzzles, games, etc&hellip; that show that person you love them! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can, visit them often and wave hello through the window.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Bring food to someone<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know how helpful it is when someone brings us a meal. Find a friend or someone in your community who could use a meal, or a fun snack box, and bring it to them. Have the kids help assemble and deliver the meal. They&rsquo;re sure to remember it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a great way to help out a family without putting them on the spot. Tell them you worked together with your child to think of special people in your lives and bring them food,&nbsp;<em>without<\/em> singling them out!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to include a fun treat, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/easy-pumpkin-muffins-toddlers\/\"><strong>pumpkin muffins<\/strong><\/a> (made with 2 ingredients!) or <a href=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/easy-christmas-pretzels\/\"><strong>holiday pretzels<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>6. Make a &ldquo;Thank You&rdquo; basket for the delivery people<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My kids LOVE when we get packages in the mail (that's <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/raddish-kids\/\">why we LOVE Raddish Kids<\/a><\/strong>). Set up a basket for the delivery people outside the front door. Have the kids help keep it stocked. Put out water bottles and small snack bags with a sign that says &ldquo;Thank You!&rdquo; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little joy to break up the monotony of doing deliveries all day makes a huge difference!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5544\" src=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/basket-with-water.jpg\" alt=\"basket with water bottles\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Looking for ways to give back as a family and teach your kids the importance of giving?

Leave a note<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decorate a card, color a picture, or write a nice note for someone and leave it on their car windshield or door to their house. Something as simple as \"Have a nice day!\" or \"We hope you're having a great December!\" would work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your kids are patient enough, sit and wait for the person to come back and see the note. Your kids are sure to be rewarded with a big smile from a complete stranger. Feel free to up the game with flowers or candy, if you're giving this to a neighbor and they will know it's from you. <em>(Otherwise candy from a stranger might seem creepy on a windshield or by the front door haha).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>8. Bring hot chocolate to someone<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time you head out on a cold day, pack a disposable travel mug (or an older one you want to give away) with hot chocolate. Drop it off to the local crossing guard who is out in the cold helping kids get to school safely, or to someone on a corner asking for food or money. It is sure to bring a smile to their faces!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>9. Read a book to a pet<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your toddler may not be able to read yet, but animals are non-judgmental. They can show the animal the pictures and tell them the story. Being with the animals will fill their hearts with such joy at Christmas, and the animal will reward them with lots of love!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>10. Donate to a food pantry<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look through your pantry at home or make a special shopping trip to get some non-perishable goodies. Give away food to a pantry, church, or other food drop-off location. Talk about the types of foods that kids like, and have your children give away something that&rsquo;s their favorite to share with another child. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage them to imagine the little boys or girls who will be enjoying the special treats. This is such a good way for kids to help their community!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>11. Volunteer at an animal shelter *or* drop off supplies<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lots of shelters are looking for extra hands to help with feeding pets and visiting animals. Call ahead and ask when is a good time to come in and volunteer with young children and what young children can do (such as fill the bowls with food while the animals are not around, etc.). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your local animal shelter has an age minimum for volunteers and your kids are too young, then put together a care package with old towels and blankets, paper towels, cleaning supplies, and pet food for the animal shelter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5539\" src=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/animal-shelter-volunteer.jpg\" alt=\"family volunteering and petting a dog\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Looking for ways to give back as a family and teach your kids the importance of giving?
