Each kit includes all materials and visual instructions to help make learning fun, easy, engaging, and educational. Also included is a Parent Card that shares guidance for parents on how to foster the particular value in their children. From the Manufacturer Play with Purpose Our activity kits go beyond just providing all the materials and step by step instructions. They are intended to add a little intention to playtime and help parents and kids together explore big ideas like empathy, gratitude, perseverance and more. Hands on Learning It's not just our crafts that encourage kids to make and create. Happy Heart Kid games are also DIY and kids get to make their own game parts that help make family game night all the more fun! Create and Explore Happy Heart Activity Kits include projects for vocabulary building that parents can use to prompt meaningful discussions. Imaginative Play Pretend play games and role-playing are great ways to spark self-expression, originality, and creativity in kids while building a deeper connection with your child. Connect and Share Project and Inquiry based learning to promote exploration of character traits and encourage real-life application. Character Skills Character education is not just a 'nice-to-have;' it's a set of critical developmental skills needed to help our children grow into well-rounded, global citizens. Child development experts are recognizing that character can actually be taught, but what is lacking are the hands-on activities that parents can use with their children to help build character through everyday play. About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Play with Purpose How did you come up with the idea for this product? Our journey began with our Empathy Kit – which grew out of our founder’s volunteer experience with a neighborhood preschool class. We have since grown to over a dozen such products, which we test thoroughly to ensure their simplicity and effectiveness. By providing an environment and system for children to identify and access their emotions and character traits, we help them grown into strong, well-rounded, and global citizens. What makes your product special? It's really not about our product, it's the experience parents and children can have through play. Happy Heart Kid's aim to break down barrier of teaching kids abstract ideas such as empathy, gratitude, perseverance and help parents teach these values through creative play. There has been a welcome change in the educational value of toys and the importance of STEM and literacy skills in the early years of children. However while schools are emphasizing social emotional learning, there are a lack of tools for parents to bring this kind of learning at home. Happy Heart Kid aims to: 1. Fills the gap in social development tools 2. Caters to children of all abilities 3. Develops the EQ or emotional intelligence What has been the best part of your startup experience? Connecting with moms, educators and preschoolers. Startup life can be challenging and frustrating most of the time, but hearing from parents that our product has had a positive impact on their child's life has helped melt all the worries away.

Really helped my child open up and express feelings. Great idea for kids who need to help connecting to their own feelings, as well as the feelings of others.

Fantastic product to share with children!
I wanted to write to say Thank You!!! I am the mom of three wonderful children. Prior to becoming a mother of three, I worked as a clinical social worker. I had always thought that the skills I learned and valued as a social worker would be so valuable as a Mom. Although the skills and values are so important, I have found that teaching my own children is often so challenging. Therefore, I was delighted when I found your site. I LOVE the empathy package and all of the pieces. We purchased it in October and used different parts of it throughout the fall. The language became a part of our family and it impacted our holiday celebration. My children were able to recognize and show concern and empathy for others. It was baby steps but wonderful baby steps. Thank you!!
