My Week with Kindness Counts: One Small Act at a Time

 

In 2013, Sprout promoted Kindness Counts by holding a contest called The Kindest Kid, in which they would select five kid finalists who have been kind to others or to the earth, and the winner would take a trip to Philadelphia to become Sprout's "Chief Kindness Officer" for a day and visit The Sunny Side Up Show. A countdown was held on TV in December 2013, hosted by Chica and Kelly Vrooman, who introduced kind-themed episodes of Sprout shows leading to the premiere of The Chica Show episode "All of a Kind Chica" and a new Laurie Berliner song. The winner ended up being Emma Lock, the founder of Lock Boxes of Love.

In 2014, the contest was held again and the winner was Sierra Preveza, the founder of Childhood Cancer Kids.

The contest was sponsored by Thomas & Friends and ABCMouse.com.
