It’s me, Lily, and my song is HERE!
What’s a gratitude jar? It’s a jar where I keep notes about all the things that make me happy. Sunshine, soccer, s’mores… and lots more! When I’m feeling down, I open my jar and remember all the good things in my life.

Want to make your own? It’s easy!
1) Find a jar or a box.
2) Write or draw something that makes you happy on a small piece of paper.
3) Fold it up and pop it in!
4) Add a new note whenever something makes you smile.
Press play and sing along with me! What’s the first thing you’d put in YOUR jar?

Teachers:
A gratitude jar is a simple, powerful tool for kids. By writing down the things that make them happy, children build a collection of good memories they can return to when they’re feeling down. It’s a great activity for classrooms and families!

Thank you to Epilepsy Toronto for partnering with us to share Lily’s story.

Gratitude is a feeling worth sharing!

Meet Lily, one of our puppet friends who visits classrooms with TAP. Lily keeps a gratitude jar full of the things that make her happy. On hard days, it reminds her of all the good in her life. It’s a simple tool kids can try at home or in class!

A big thank you to Epilepsy Toronto for partnering with us to bring Lily’s story to students.

Stay tuned! Lily’s AMAZING gratitude song is coming in the next post!
What would you put in your gratitude jar?

This past Tuesday we did a virtual workshop of “When Friends Become Dinosaurs” with a wonderful kindergarten class up in Taloyoak, Nunavut!

Some golden nuggets from the workshop included the students having so much fun with stomping their feet like dinosaurs and having a little dance break. As well, their teacher shared that the students practice mindfulness by lying down, closing their eyes and thinking about camping or their favourite places!
