The Story of Warm Fuzzies!

Since we are 9 days away from 4-H Camp, I thought I would share a story that might be of more relevance once your children return from 4-H Camp!

The Story of Warm Fuzzies

Once upon a time there was a lovely place called “Warm Fuzzy Land “In this land people felt free to give warm fuzziest to one another.

Warm Fuzzies were little balls of pure love that made everyone feel good all over. Back in the day, all you had to do was ask for a Warm Fuzzy.

People would reach into their pocket and grab a handful of Warm Fuzzies and give them to you. Everyone was generous and there was never a shortage of Warm Fuzzy feelings to go around.

Everyone felt safe and loved and made everyone else feel safe and loved.

But one day a wicked elf showed up in the Land of Warm Fuzzies. When people began to give him Warm Fuzzies he did not like it.

They were the opposite of what he kept in his pocket, the mean cold prickles.

He began telling people that there was a huge shortage of Warm Fuzzies and they needed to hoard them. Well, people stopped giving away their Warm Fuzzies and hid them away or locked them up.

They stopped carrying them around in their pocket too.

Soon, the entire land was angry and sad. People started to be mean to each other and say hateful things.

They began to bully, yell, and become angry with one another. They hid in their houses and did not come out. The Land of Warm Fuzzies was renamed the Land of Cold Prickly.

One day a sad little boy was bored and began looking around the attic for something to play with. He stumbled upon a box of Warm Fuzzies that had been hidden for many years.

When he opened up the box he felt feelings of love, kindness, and warmth. He took the box to school with him the next day.

He gave a Warm Fuzzy to all the children in the school. They in turn took the Warm Fuzzy home and gave it to their parents. The parents remembered the boxes of Warm Fuzzies they had put away in their attics.

They all brought the boxes downstairs and opened them. The love, warmth, and kindness was so immense that the Land of Cold Prickles became the Land of Warm Fuzzies once again.

Everyone lived happily ever after and never gave up their Warm Fuzzies again!
