At church we have a program for young women (12-18 years) to develop character. They have various activities they can perform. One of the experiences they get to have is a chance to "strengthen your relationship with a family member by showing love through your actions". To help the girls I made up this Hugs & Kisses Kit. I did this around Father's Day so the girls could have a chance to focus on their relationship with their Dad if they wanted to. Since it's close to Father's Day I thought I'd share it with you. This activity lasts two weeks so I gave simple suggestions of what they can do to interact each day. Some of the activities are Day #7 Make a treat for this person, Day #11 Text a nice comment to this person, Day #2 Find out their favorites, Day #8 Talk about your favorite things to do in Summer. I designed these into 1/4 sheet handouts. They can put it on a ring to help them remember. I call it The Ring Thing™. I've made several for different topics to go on the Ring Thing which I'll share periodically. Here's a photo of my Ring Thing. Here's a PDF to download if you'd like to use it for some activity you have. It's a black and white PDF that you can print onto colored paper. Then you can cut it into 1/4 sheets. ![]()

Thanks for sharing! I made these kits for our YW and I hope they use them! It doesn't get much easier than handing them a kit as cute as this. I printed mine in blue paper to go with divine nature value color is blue. Thanks!

Kathy, It's great to hear what you are up to and that this was helpful. Sometimes I just don't know if it's really making a difference. So thanks again. Oh, and I'll have more stuff in the future with a couple of projects I'm working on. It may be more help to you.

Hey Shannon, I just wanted to let you know that I printed off your Hugs & Kisses kit for my young women this month and I'm so excited to give it to them. I LOVE the idea! So cute and very creative! I also shared it on my blog, I hope that's okay. I made sure to link over to you so others could enjoy your kit too! You can see it at http://themoderndaisy.blogspot.com/2012/09/divine-nature.html Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your ideas and creativity! I'm using this to share with younger family members who need a little nudge now and then to be a little more aware of their parents lol.
