When the new day begins, there are lots of ways for Excavator and the other construction trucks to be kind. There are holes to dig. There are loads (and even friends) to carry up, up, and out of tough situations. There are trucks to wash, and pull, and help along the way. There are even games to play—like digging for hidden treasure. With so many ways to be kind to each other, we can’t squeeze it all into one day. Tomorrow, there will be more holes to dig, more friends to help, and more loads to carry. Come back in the morning to lend Crane, Backhoe, Bulldozer, and the other trucks a hand!

Pretend play with your child >>>
Name: Digging for Kindness Instructions: You and your child can have fun together playing a game called 'Digging for Kindness'. Take turns rolling a die to determine how many 'holes' you can each dig. You can then decide what kind act to do for each hole dug (e.g. helping a friend, washing a truck, etc). Whoever digs the most 'holes' of kindness in a set amount of time wins!
