By Open the Joy In Collaboration With The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is excited to announce that we have teamed up with the company Open the Joy to produce a social and emotional learning activity box based on our beloved exhibit: XOXO: Love and Forgiveness. This curated activity box features 6 engaging activates that focus on understanding emotions, forgiveness, selflessness, appreciation, self-expression, and love.  Explore your feelings with the infinite feelings puzzle, float your negative feelings away by making origami boats, write a letter to someone you love, and work together to share your feelings with others. This activity box is perfect for families, educators, hospitals, and other early childhood development teams. 

The Kit includes:  
6 instruction cards 
35 piece Penrose puzzle 
2 tubs of air dry putty 
50 sheets assorted color origami paper 
50 sheet love letter notepad 
Wish box activity box 

The XOXO: Love and Forgiveness exhibit that this kit is based on debuted at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on February 14, 2014 and has since gone on to inspire countless families, educators, and school groups in the United States and Canada.  

Open the Joy was launched in 2019 by Shalini Samtani after her daughter was hospitalized for extended periods of time following the diagnosis of a rare disease. During the months spent alongside her child at the hospital, she quickly realized that there wasn’t a single toy company servicing the emotional well being of kids. The company launched an entire collection of toys created by therapists that focus on kindness, bonding, laughter, and fostering social and emotional learning in kids.
