Let’s be honest:
Who doesn’t love stickers?
They’re small. Colorful. Slightly magical.
They have this power to say something meaningful—without saying too much.
That’s exactly why I created the Ploppals Positivity Drops: free printable stickers filled with loving reminders, affirming phrases, and just the right amount of silly. They're designed to help you sprinkle kindness wherever it’s needed most… even if you don’t know the person on the other end.
✨ The Science of Tiny Kindnesses
Here’s something I love:
Research shows that even small acts of kindness have a big impact.
A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that people who performed small, unexpected acts of kindness—like leaving a kind note—underestimated how powerful those acts were. Recipients consistently reported feeling more seen, valued, and uplifted than the givers expected.
And it doesn’t have to be grand. According to studies from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, kindness boosts serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins—for the giver and the receiver. Even observing a kind act can create a ripple of positive emotion.
So yes—sticking a tiny round message on someone’s desk, or inside a lunchbox, or onto your own mirror? It counts. And it matters.
🧡 Why Stickers Work (Especially for Kids)
Stickers feel playful—but they’re sneaky little confidence builders, too. Especially for children.
Visual reminders like “You’re enough,” “Keep going,” or even “You’re someone’s sunshine” can help kids develop:
-
Self-esteem
-
Resilience
-
Emotional safety
-
A sense of being loved—without strings
They also make giving and receiving kindness tangible. When a child places a sticker on a friend’s water bottle or inside a thank-you card, they see the joy they’re spreading.
And let’s be real—adults benefit just as much. (I’ve got one on my dashboard right now.)
💌 What Are Positivity Drops?
They’re two printable pages of joy—32 round stickers, sized for 1.5” Avery labels (or regular sticker paper if you prefer scissors and a little DIY love).
Each one has a message of encouragement, affirmation, or gentle silliness:
-
You’re enough. Always.
-
Perfectly imperfect.
-
Small but mighty.
-
Thanks for being you.
-
Healing can be silly.
-
One day at a time.
They’re perfect for:
-
Lunchbox notes
-
Mirror reminders
-
Workplace surprises
-
Gift wrap seals
-
Random acts of kindness
I’ve even sent them through snail mail to my grandkids—one on the envelope, a few tucked inside. It’s become a little game of “Where will the next one show up?”
🪄 A Small Way to Uplift Someone’s Day
You don’t have to solve all the world’s problems in a day.
Sometimes you just need to leave a sticker behind that says, “You matter. Full stop.”
And in that one, tiny moment—you’ve made a difference.

💛 Final Thought
Stickers are silly. And soft. And surprising.
But they’re also powerful little permission slips to feel loved, seen, and supported.
So print a few. Stick them around.
And maybe, just maybe—help someone remember how wonderful they already are.
With love and glitter glue,
Heather (& all the Ploppals)
