Little Hands, Big Heart
A creative giving project by Etchy Designs—helping children experience the joy of kindness and the power of giving through their own imagination.
Why Little Hands Big Heart Exists
Little Hands Big Heart was created to help children experience the joy of giving—through creativity, intention, and love.
Instead of telling children exactly what to make, each kit encourages them to explore their own ideas, make creative choices, and design something that feels uniquely theirs. With gentle guidance from parents, children learn how to bring an idea to life while building confidence in their creativity.
These gifts are meant to be given quietly—to neighbors, teachers, classmates, friends, or loved ones—teaching the powerful lesson of giving without expecting anything in return.
How It Works
-
Choose a seasonal kit
Each Little Hands Big Heart kit is part of a limited seasonal collection. Once the season ends, the kit is retired forever.
-
Create with intention
Children use the thoughtfully selected materials to design a gift that feels uniquely theirs—simple or detailed, quick or expanded.
-
Add a personal note
Each kit includes acustom card, where parents help their child choose a message for the recipient.
What’s Included in Every Kit
Thoughtfully curated materials
A mix of simple and sometimes unexpected supplies designed to spark imagination.
Flexible creative guidance
Enough structure to support children without limiting their creativity.
A custom gift card
A special card included with every kit to be wrapped with the finished gift.
Designed to fit your child
Projects can be completed in one day or expanded with extra creativity and detail.
A Note From the Heart
Each Little Hands Big Heart kit includes a custom card that is wrapped with the gift. Parents help their child choose what they’d like to say—whether it’s a simple message of kindness, gratitude, or encouragement.
These cards help children learn that words matter, and that thoughtful giving includes both action and intention.

Season of Love and Gratitude - 2026
One Season. One Creation. Never Repeated.
Each Little Hands Big Heart kit is intentionally retired at the end of its season—making every creation truly one-of-a-kind. No two gifts will ever be exactly the same, and no kit will ever be recreated.
This makes each project not just a gift—but a moment in time.
