“Be a bucket filler.” . Be kind to others. The entire idea behind bucket filling is to make someone feel special by doing or saying something nice. By doing so, you are filling up their emotional bucket and making them feel good. At the same time, you are filling up your own bucket. We all know how it feels to do something nice for someone else. It not only makes them feel good… it makes us feel good, too. In the world today I think we can all afford to feel a little better. Our kids are no exception and perhaps the most deserving right now.

kind buckets are a way for your child to go out into the community and give smiles (with flowers.)

The flowers? Free! Sign up by “purchasing” a kind bucket and your child will receive a bucket of flowers to give. The only rule is that they can only keep one flower for themselves. It is their job to decide who they want to gift all the rest of the flowers to either as a handful, in an arrangement they make from the flowers in the bucket or as a single flower. They can give them to family members, neighbors, friends, teachers, or even perfect strangers! Senior centers, community centers, libraries or even the grocery store… there is always someone out there in need of a smile. The unexpected gift of a flower “just because” can fill emotional buckets all over our community. Your child’s own emotional bucket will be overflowing by the end of the process!

kind buckets are released in limited quantities during the season so check back weekly for availability. Limit one per household.

Feel free to tag @sweetypeasflowers when posting pictures of your kids gifting their flowers on instagram and facebook! I’d love to see all the flowers being shared.
