Having kids with such a huge age gap can get pretty interesting. Jazzy is currently going through her “me, mine, mine” phase. Turning two seems to have amplified that phase by a hundred. But if you ask her nicely, she will usually share with you. Her favorite new toys right now are these adorable Enchantimals dolls. Each doll comes with their very own little animal pet friends. “Caring is Our Everything” is their motto and they love making friends. With the holidays coming, I found some creative ways to teach both of my children all about caring and sharing.
Creative Ways To Teach Caring & Sharing With The Enchantimals Dolls
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mattel Canada for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Lead by example.
One of the things that have been working for us with Jazzy is instead of telling her to share; we show her. She always likes to do what we’re doing. Seeing the people, she loves the most sharing, motivates her to do the same.
- The Enchantimals love to show kindness to their friends.
Twice a year, I have my son help me sort through his old toys that he’s no longer playing with. We then box them up and donate to a local charity. Have your child help sort out clothes that they’ve outgrown so that they can donate them. Do the same with toys they no longer play with.
Other ways to show kindness:
- If they don’t have used toys to give away, have your child pick one at the store instead.
- Have your child wrap a present to give to a friend.
- Volunteer with your child.
- The Enchantimals also teaches about gratitude.
When your child receives a gift for a special occasion, help them write a ‘Thank You’ card. Writing a card to a friend or a relative is a simple yet amazing way to show gratitude.
Other ways to show gratitude:
- Call a friend or relative to say hello.
- Give a compliment to someone.
- Keep a gratitude journal.
About Enchantimals
The Enchantimals are a group of lovable girls who have a special bond with their animal best friends, and even share some of the same characteristics. Together, they live in a fantastical world where fun and adventure are right around every corner!
Felicity Fox™ and Flick™ – Sage Skunk™ and Caper™- Patter Peacock™ and Flap™ – Taylee Turtle™ and Bounder™
All the dolls have their own amazing personalities. Jazzy is a lot like Felicity Fox. Both are adventurers! The Enchantimals dolls are so much fun to play with.
Mattel Canada is giving one of my readers the chance to win an Enchantimals Doll Kit.
I hope these creative ways to teach caring and sharing are useful to you and your little ones.

This would be a gift for my daughter.
Those are such cute dolls for little girls. I am sure my nieces would both flip their lids for a couple of these.
Those dolls are super cute! I have a few little girls I need to buy for this year, and they are going to LOVE these.

My daughter would love these. She’s a tween now, but she still loves dolls like these. I hope she stays that innocent for a long, long time.

These are very cute girls! I like everything that has been coming out this year for options for kids for Christmas. This one is a great one to teach children to care for others.

I think these dolls are brilliant. My daughters love them and took some into school to share in the classroom. They are great!
I bet a lot of kids will enjoy these. Dolls and animals are the perfect combo!
My daughter loves these dolls. It was easy for us to teach sharing and caring as we lead by example. . Great tips
These are adorable! My girls are animal lovers and I’m sure they would like these dolls. What a great concept, that they have a positive message.

These dolls are super cute! I love toys that have such a positive message. We need more of this.
Oh, I hadn’t seen this line yet! My youngest daughter would be all over it – she loves anything animal-related!

These dolls look really cute! I definitely love the volunteering idea. Now that my kids are 5 and 8, I think they will truly grasp it without a lot of tantrums. I’d love to take them to volunteer at a soup kitchen or something. After all it truly is the meaning of the Holidays.
Emilys birthday is in March so she would get this then. So cute!!
Taylee Turtle is absolutely adorable. My daughter would love this, and I’d love to give it to her.
Enchantimals are so darn cute! My daughter used to love playing with dolls about this size when she was little. They’re great for the children to imagine and dream, and like you said, teach and learn about sharing and caring. I have to get these for my niece!
I love that you teach them good values as such a young age! It’s also a good way to thin out the toys to make room for more like the Enchantimals Dolls!
Those are so great. I just know my grand niece would love these. And it’s wonderful that they teach such valuable lessons.

It’s important for the kids to go to school and learn all these different skills, but it’s also important for us to teach them about the value of kindness, compassion, and gratitude! I think this is such a lovely idea!

Would be nice to give as a gift to one of my friend’s niece.
I would love to win this for my little cousins.
Those are really cute dolls! And those would be the perfect dolls to give my little niece this Christmas. She’ll love them for sure.
Those dolls are so cute. I remember the whole me, mine and mine stage. My oldest will be 21 soon, my middle child is 17, and my youngest is 6. We went through the stage with him at 2. It didn’t last long but then again the older kids were at school during the day. As a mom, I agree it is best to teach them to share at a young age.
