Kindness Tree

Kindness Tree

The Kindness Tree is a beautiful classroom display that celebrates friendship, empathy, and positive actions. Each colorful handprint represents a child’s unique contribution to building a caring community. The hearts in the center of the hands symbolize love and compassion — simple gestures that make a big difference in everyday life.

Colorful Kindness Tree made of paper handprints with heart cutouts representing acts of kindness.

Teachers can use this activity to encourage students to recognize acts of kindness around them. Every time a student performs a kind deed, they can add a new handprint to the tree, watching it grow with goodness and smiles.

The bright colors and simple shapes make the Kindness Tree both cheerful and meaningful — perfect for any classroom wall or school hallway. It reminds everyone that small acts of kindness can create something truly wonderful when shared together.
