Random Act of Kid-ness: A Zimmer Video!

For this week’s Random Act of Kid-ness, we wanted to give a shout out to 3 awesome kids who did a random act of kindness for their favorite nonprofit: the Zimmer Children’s Museum!

Russell Monkarsh, Gabe Freeman, and Ava Freeman are all kids who loved to play in the museum as little ones, so they decided to give back by creating a video about the Zimmer for us. Still in high school, Russell and Gabe started their own production company called SD Productions. You should check it out! And now, check out the world premiere of our brand new video!

Drumroll please….

What do you think? Thank you so much to Russell, Gabe, and Ava for doing this!

Random Act of Kid-ness: Karma’s World

This week’s Random Act of Kid-ness features a new website that promotes good deeds among children. The website Karma’s World was developed by Ludacris and his 10 year old daughter, Karma Bridges, as a way for children to have fun while learning about kindness, honesty, and manners. Ludacris says:

We wanted the site to be educational, fun and full of music that all kids will enjoy, but we also wanted it to teach kids more than just academics. The site touches on subjects like, the rewards of hard work and importance of learning manners as well as the idea that doing good deeds for others will bring good into your life – which is the meaning of the word Karma. 

We love when parents and their kids work together on projects to make this world a better place! Check out the website, and let us know what you think! For more information, click here.

Random Act of Kid-ness: Animated Heroes

In light of the passing of Steve Jobs earlier this week, today’s Random Act of Kid-ness is not about a specific kid, but about some of Pixar’s heroes.

Click here to see a wonderful slide show of these animated heroes from the Baltimore Sun. From Monsters Inc.’s Sully to Wall-E to Toy Story’s Woody, many of Pixar’s most memorable characters are heroes that inspire kids to do good each and every day.
