Superhero Character Building Activity Kits
In 2019, Characters of Character NFP, Inc. had significant success with sharing our Characters to Shriner's Children's Hospital in Chicago, Northwest Medicine in Huntley, and Lurie's Children's Hospital in Chicago. Our organization saw firsthand the positive impact our Characters have on the children passing through or staying at a hospital and how appreciative the staff was to receive such empowering materials for the patients, and families, to receive during their stay.
That's why in 2020 we've decided to make our Superhero Character Building Kits a priority to distribute to children's hospitals and pediatric wards in Tennessee, Illinois, and Texas.

Due to the Pandemic, our updates will be limited, we will update at the year end of 2020.
Characters of Character NFP, Inc. chose to focus on the Superhero theme for our character building kits in the hospital because superheroes carry the message of hope. Based on our experience, when a child's confidence is boosted, much like when they put on that superhero mask and feel like the world is at their fingertips, their moods are lifted and they tend to want to do better. Our Character Building Kits serve as a vessel to provide the child with the tools and resources to make better decisions, enhance their reading and writing skills, develop stronger social and emotional coping skills, and work as a creative outlet to encourage the child to express their inner feelings.

Contents Of Each Superhero Character Building Activity Kit Include:
• A superhero themed box featuring all nine Characters of Character (Behavior Bear, Do'er Duck, Friendship Frog, Healthy Hippo, Manners Monkey, Respectful Rabbit, Responsible Rabbit, Self-Esteem Elephant, and Warm-Hearted Walrus) - the box is specifically designed to be used as a visual reinforcement
• A sticker and a handwritten letter from one of our Characters - these letters will be written by volunteers and we even had a wonderful school create artwork for some of the greeting cards
• A watercolor painting activity - all the supplies including the canvas with our 'I am Super!' message, watercolor paints, and a brush are included to complete this fun art activity
• A character building activity book - from designing your own superhero mask to discovering why having good character is part of being super, this engaging book reinforces each trait and encourages each child to make better decisions and be proud of who they are
• A pack of Crayons - after speaking with staff at a few hospitals, we discovered including the supplies, in this case crayons, is important because of the mass volume they go through
• A superhero badge & mask - each kit includes both a superhero mask (colors vary) that is wrapped in plastic (request of most hospitals due to germs) and a superhero badge (complete with an Agent ID) with one of our nine Characters that even includes a pledge that while the person is wearing the badge they must adhere to the positive character trait (i.e. if you're wearing Warm-Hearted Walrus you must portray kindness at all times)
