King of Hearts – Act of Kindness: Bake something for someone

Baking can be a nice way to spread kindness and make a positive impact in your community!

Whether you’re whipping up treats for friends and family or organizing a bake sale for charity, this fun activity allows you to share delicious goodies while teaching valuable lessons about generosity and teamwork.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity for you to get creative in the kitchen and learn about the joy of giving back to others.

Let’s explore how you can turn baking into a sweet act of kindness!

  • Choose a simple recipe (there are some examples down below).
  • Plan who you’re sharing with.
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Get baking!
  • Package the treats and deliver with a smile or hold a bake sale!

Baking and sharing treats is a fun way to make friends and spread kindness!

When you bake together, you learn important skills like measuring and teamwork while showing others you care.

It’s exciting to share something delicious, and it helps you feel proud of what you created.

Plus, baking can spark conversations about healthy food choices.

Most importantly, the joy of making and sharing treats brings smiles and happiness to everyone!

Studies have shown that baking for an act of kindness can lead to:

  • Learning about chemical reactions! For example, when you mix flour with water and heat them, the ingredients change and combine to make a yummy treat1
  • Using your senses can make you more curious about your food and help you enjoy it more2
  • Learning about the different ingredients and how they help your body3
  • Sharing your bake treats makes you feel happy! By doing nice things for others, your brain releases feel-good chemicals which boost your mood and help you feel more connected to people.4

Small changes CAN make a big difference – that’s what the 1% Kids’ Club is all about.
