Hand-painted by kids in low-income schools. Each one-of-a-kind ornament comes with a personal letter from the child who made it — and 100% of profits go back to their school.
By Gracie, 3rd Grade
Big Hearts, Little Hands ships a complete painting kit to a low-income school, free of charge. Everything kids need, ready to go.
Students paint a wood ornament and write a heartfelt letter about who they are. Pure creativity and personality.
The teacher ships the ornaments back. Each one is photographed and listed individually on this website.
You receive a truly one-of-a-kind ornament and letter. The school receives the funds for activities and programs.
Each purchase ships directly to you from Big Hearts, Little Hands
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."— Winston Churchill
Big Hearts, Little Hands was founded with one belief: every child deserves the chance to share their creativity with the world, and every school deserves the funds to make their kids' experiences extraordinary.
Traditional school fundraisers require kids to sell to friends, family, and neighbors — a real challenge in low-income communities where those networks are limited.
Big Hearts, Little Hands is different. We connect low-income schools to a wider audience of buyers who love giving meaningful, handmade gifts and making a real impact.
