How Little Hands Big Heart Works

Simple steps. Meaningful moments. A creative giving experience designed to feel intentional, flexible, and joyful—for both children and parents.

How It Works

  • Choose a Seasonal Kit

    Each Little Hands Big Heart kit is released as part of a seasonal collection. When the season ends, the kit is retired—making every creation a one-of-a-kind moment in time.

    Choose the kit that feels right for your child and the season you’re in.

  • Create With Intention

    Each child designs their project in their own way, using the materials as a starting point rather than a set of rules. They’re encouraged to follow their ideas, make creative choices, and shape something that feels uniquely theirs.

  • Write a Personal Note

    Every kit includes a custom card. Parents help their child decide what they’d like to say—whether it’s a message of kindness, gratitude, encouragement, or joy.

    This step helps children understand that thoughtful giving includes both what we make and the words we share.

  • Give It Away—Quietly

    The finished gift is wrapped with the card and given to a neighbor, teacher, classmate, friend, or loved one—without expecting recognition or thanks.

    This moment is where the lesson of giving truly comes to life.

What Parents Can Expect

Little Hands Big Heart is designed to feel simple, flexible, and enjoyable—for both children and parents. There’s no pressure to rush, no expectation of perfection, and no right or wrong way to create.

Most projects take between 30–90 minutes, depending on your child’s pace, interest, and how much detail they choose to add. Some families enjoy completing a project in one sitting, while others prefer to spread it out over a few shorter creative moments.

Parent involvement is encouraged but gentle—offering guidance, support, and encouragement without taking over the creative process. Children are invited to lead, make choices, and express themselves in a way that feels natural to them.

To support this process, each kit includes inspirational cards with simple ideas and prompts. These are meant to help parents offer suggestions if a child feels stuck or needs a starting point—while still leaving plenty of room for imagination and personal expression.

Each kit is thoughtfully designed to fit easily into your family’s rhythm, creating space for meaningful connection without adding stress or overwhelm.

The Custom Gift Card

Every Little Hands Big Heart kit includes a custom gift card that is wrapped with the finished creation.

As part of the ordering process, parents are invited to help their child choose the message they’d like to include. Whether it’s a simple note of kindness, a word of encouragement, or a heartfelt “thinking of you,” this message becomes part of the gift itself.

This step helps children understand that thoughtful giving isn’t just about what we make—it’s also about the words we choose to share. Each card is intentionally simple, allowing the child’s message and the meaning behind it to shine.
