Superhero Character Building Activity Kits For Texas Children's Hospitals

What Are Superhero Character Building Kits?

Picture(Front of Superhero Box)
Characters of Character NFP, Inc. focuses on nine different character traits that we believe are essential for a child to develop and improve on at an early age.  These nine traits are; behavior, perseverance, friendship, healthy habits, manners, respect, responsibility, self-esteem, and kindness.  

​Our Superhero Themed Character Building Activity Kits not only encourage children be better citizens, but they also incorporate a positive and healthy way for children to express themselves through art.  Including everything needed, from watercolor paints to their very own felt superhero mask, children are able to have a positive distraction and engaging activities to keep their minds busy, all while internalizing positive character attributes.

Why donations are more important than ever with Covid-19

Giving patients something to distract them from their hospital visit has always been important.  No one wants to sit in a hospital room and have nothing to do except focus on the fact that they are in a hospital room.  When the pandemic struck, even more restrictions were put on what was and wasn't allowed in hospitals.  We recently found out that due to the pandemic sharing of toys is no longer allowed in most hospitals, common areas are not being utilized which means that children are confined to their rooms or limited to where they are able to visit, and many hospitals are no longer accepting certain toys such as stuffed animals due to not being able to clean them properly.  

This is all the more reason that we are increasing our efforts to focus on donating our Superhero Character Building Kits to the children's hospitals and wards in Texas.  After speaking with a few representatives from the hospital we learned that Winter is a busy time of the year for the hospitals and we'd like to begin sending out these donations sooner rather than later. Our activity kits are easy to store, include everything the patient needs to complete the activities, and are for a single person to use.  There is no exchanging of activities (though we hope they display their beautiful artwork for others to appreciate!) and each child gets their very own kit to keep in their room.  

We would also like to emphasize that behind the scenes we are taking extra precautions to prevent exposure.  Joni, founder of Characters of Character NFP, Inc., is the only person preparing and packing the activity kits.  

Where The Kits Are Donated

So far we have donated our resources to the Huntley Hospital in Huntley, Illinois, to Ann & Robert Lurie's Children's Hospital in Chicago, and Loyola. Characters of Character has reached out to Texas Children's Hospital in Edinburg, Texas and in Houston to accept these donations. This list will grow! Our Superhero Character Building Activity Kits are an ongoing project at Characters of Character NFP, Inc.  Donations made on this page will be used to fulfill kits that are being donated to children's hospitals in Texas.  If you'd like to mail a check or donate through Facebook, please contact us so that we know your donation is going towards the Texas Superhero Kits. 

What Is Included In Each Sturdy and Colorful Box

Each box is colorful and sturdy and includes a Superhero Activity Book, crayons, watercolor paints, paint brush, a canvas to paint that says, I AM SUPER, an easel to display the art work, a superhero sticker, a superhero mask (in plastic) a black and white poster to color or paint of all the characters, a character (agent) lanyard to wear, plus, a handwritten letter from one of the Characters of Character! Quite a bit of fun, engaging and empowering materials to utilize while in the hospital. And finally, put together with a whole lot of love.
