Description: The Random Acts of Kindness movement started in the 1980s. It is attributed to Anne Herbert, a peace activist who wrote a challenge on a restaurant place mat: Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. Today the movement has spread around the world. Make & Share Random Acts of Kindness is a unique compilation of step-by-step projects and quick & easy ideas for practicing acts of kindness in your life through cooking and crafting. Some ideas include decorating a reusable plate and using it to share homemade sweets with a stranger or neighbor, or putting together Blessing Bags with uplifting message cards to give out to those in need. Mique Provost is the founder of the immensely popular craft and cooking blog Thirty Handmade Days. She first started doing Random Acts of Kindness in honor of her oldest son who has autism, and she received an overwhelming response when she encouraged her readers to join her. In this book, she gives readers completely new crafts, recipes and projects, complete with her popular design templates. Readers young and old will love these inspiring ideas to spread joy and help make the world a kinder place.
