   Gather everything you need and put it in a container. I used an origami box I made out of some nice paper for my first one and a nice gift bag for my second, but you can use a paper bag, a plastic container or anything else you have lying around.

2. 

   Then write or print out the following and put it in the kit to explain what each item is for.
   
   Toothpick- to help pick out the good qualities in everyone, including yourself.
   Bandaid- to heal hurt feelings.
   Smiley Face- because smiling is contagious.
   Pencil- to write down everything good that happens in your day.
   Eraser- a reminder to start everyday with a new slate.
   Sticky Tape- to tape your lips shut when you have nothing nice to say.
   Stars-to reflect what you can be.
   Nail File-to smooth over rough edges.
   Glitter-to make things sparkle.
   Velcro-to help you get a grip on things.
   Rubber Band-to stretch you to your limits.
   Peg-to keep things together.
   Match-to light your path.
