No visitors? No worries! Caring for shut-ins or someone sick that can’t get out and about or receive visitors can be a challenge. We think we came up with a clever idea for our homebound friends. Bonus, it is a fun family activity to spread a little cheer!
We decided our Heart Attack Activity could be the perfect way to help someone that is isolated to feel loved and connected.
Caring For Shut Ins Idea
We are worried that our friends that can’t have visitors are feeling lonely and sad. We found brightening their day couldn’t be any easier with this activity. Plus. you will have fun as you secretly leave sweet messages on bright colorful hearts on their windows.
Here are the printable hearts we used. Download the file, print on bright cardstock and cut out. Who wouldn’t want to hear…….
- You are wonderful!
- You’re really something special!
- On a scale from 1 to 10, you’re and 11.
- You are loved!

If you want to write your own messages here is a blank heart template
We quietly taped the hearts on the outside of their window where we knew our special friends would see them. We got the whole family involved.

Hey! This is so great!! We are in Shutdown as well here in Germany and I really miss my grandparents/family. But since I am a caregiver, it would be to dangerous to see them right now.
Also I suggested your Post to “5LoveLanguages” to spread the love. All credits to you of course for such a fantastic idea. Thank you for this inspiration. Stay safe and stay home!!
Such an adorable idea! We did this for a neighbor of ours and she just love it!
There are a few senior couples in our neighborhood that my 8 year old has really missed being able to visit. She will love this idea!
I love this idea – such a fun and easy way to bring joy to people when we can’t be with each other.
I love this idea. What a sweet way to cheer people up during this time.
