At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Letter To An Elder Day is celebrated in the United States of America.
This day is celebrated by anyone who wishes to uplift an older person's spirits and to spread love among the lonely elderly.
National Letter To An Elder Day was officially launched on February 26, 2020.
Jacob Cramer started Letter To An Elder Day through his nonprofit organization, Love For Our Elders.
This day holds the power to bring smiles to the elderly and make them happy. Let's look at the interesting events that led to the creation of this precious day!
This day was created to honor the elderly and to send them love and to put a smile on their faces through letters.
While writing a letter for the elderly, keep in mind the importance of this day. This day shows us how far an act of kindness can go and may help in spurring more acts of kindness while bringing smiles to the faces of those who are lonely.
One way to participate is by joining the letter-writing campaign organized by the Love For Our Elders organization and writing a letter to the elderly on February 26 every year. This is a simple but effective way of participating in acts of kindness that will have you yearning to seek more ways to help others.
Next is by hosting a letter-writing party. It can be a small get-together that will encourage others to participate in this campaign too.
If writing a letter is not exactly your thing, don't let it stop you from showing affection for elders. You can instead go and meet them, make videos or voice notes, and send those to the elders in your community.
This day was started by Jacob Cramer, who volunteered in one of the local senior communities.
This day falls on Jacob's grandmother's birthday.
The Love For Our Elders organization has sent around 250,000 letters.
You can send letters to the elderly via an organization called Love For Our Elders.
It's the connection that matters. Write something that you would like to read! Tell a joke, be creative, and add some words of encouragement for the elderly.
All you need is paper and a pen to write a letter. Keep in mind to honor and respect the elderly friend while writing the letter, but do give a personal touch.
This day is named for a specific reason, and that is to help remove the loneliness of elderly people through letters of love and encouragement.
