Stumbled upon this during a walking tour in Zadar—kids’ artwork from a kindergarten strung across an alley, and even a little box where they leave fruit pits wrapped in paper for planting.
Such a sweet reminder that imagination and kindness can brighten everyday corners.
"KAD JEDEMO VOĆE NAĐEMO KOŠTICE I ONDA IH POKLONIMO DA SADIMO STABLO. KOŠTICE SMO SAMOTALI U PAPIR VAMA SA DAR. UZIMTE SADITE ILI RASPJITE PO SELENIM POVUŠINAMA."
This roughly translates to: "When we eat fruit, we find pits and then we gift them so we can plant a tree. We wrapped the pits in paper as a gift for you. Take them, plant them, or scatter them across green areas."
So sweet

ReplyDeleteVeroniko, to je tak krásné, doufám, že to uvidí co nejvíc lidí a budou v tom pokračovat...Bravo Zadar, posílám ti objetí!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful. Thank you very much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a real act of kindness!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute and great that even small children are being taught environmental awareness.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute, and a step up from putting it on the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteI guess it doesn't rain there very much? Or is the art waterproofed somehow?
Lovely exhibition !

What a lovely idea with the pictures and the pits for planting.
ReplyDeleteTernura pura! Lindoi! beijos, chica
ReplyDelete...I want to try growing peaches from our pits!
ReplyDeleteThe title is perfect 😊 the art of tiny hands that bring grand gestures. Creativity and ideas that certainly brought much joy to the children who participated. A very special gift, seeds that can generate new trees.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and lovely AI creation!
How sweet this is, Veronica! Thanks so much for brightening my day.
ReplyDeleteAw, that is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is a delightful idea. It makes the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteThat is a such a wonderful find. I love it. Your title is just as delightful.

Uy que tierno es un lindo gesto y ojala se repitiera en todo el mundo. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThose are all really cool and that is such a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteKids' works are so honest, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the beauty and creativity of children artwork. When our children were young I loved framing and hanging up their work. How neat to do this in the public. How neat about the pits!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see these by the children. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour post today is really nice, Veronica. Kids can help with so much, and I hope some of the fruit pits will sprout!
ReplyDeleteThe AI mice are as cute as ever 🙂
I love the way they displayed this children's' art!
ReplyDeleteGreat job made by those children.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are finding some joy in your August days, Veronica.

ReplyDeleteSo nice seeing the kid's artwork on display!
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cute idea. And the kids must think it's pretty cool that they art work is being displayed where lots of folks can see it. Bravo to the teacher that thought of this. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeletePure sweetness!
ReplyDeleteDear Veronica, this is truly a delightful gesture—both the children's drawings as garlands, and then the idea with the fruit pits. Thank you for this lovely story from Zadar and your adorable pair of tourist mice in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria 🤗

ReplyDeleteSo sweet...and delightful 😊 ☺️
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like artwork creatively made by a child. Love the string of art made by the kindergarten class. And a nice gesture to wrap the fruit pits as a gift for people to plant a tree. Thank you for translating what the note said; it always interests me. I surely do love your photos from traveling. Have a good August week ahead. : )
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful! It's so inspiring to see young children learning to care for the environment and spread kindness like this.
ReplyDeleteCool idea :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely idea! We didn't get to Zadar - too many places to see, not enough time unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and what a great lesson for kids!
ReplyDeleteMuy hermoso, Veronica. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had the opportunity to stumble across this adorable display of art. Nothing is better than the art of children. The simplicity and joy can be found in it is a great reminder to us all to enjoy the little things and to not take anything for granted.
ReplyDeleteQue lindo. me ha encantado. Besos.
ReplyDeleteAle świetny pomysł! Uwielbiam takie małe rzeczy odkrywane przypadkiem podczas spacerów, bo często zostają w pamięci bardziej niż typowe atrakcje. A pomysł dzieci z pestkami do zasadzenia jest naprawdę uroczy – sama pewnie zabrałabym jedną ze sobą. Miłego dnia!

What beautiful gestures - artwork on display and fruit pits saved to be planted.
ReplyDeleteInspiration always plants a seed, and sometimes it blooms. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I love the idea of leaving fruit pits for planting.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde minha querida amiga Veronica. Obrigado pela visita e comentário. Os desenhos são maravilhosos e os dois bonecos da última foto são lindos. Uma excelente tarde de sexta-feira, para você e todos os seus familiares na Malásia e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Zadar during the final year of the Homeland War, from 1995 to 1996.
ReplyDeleteChildren get it right ~ Hugs ^_^

So very nice. Great to have the children involved too. Thanks for sharing, Veronica.
ReplyDeleteChe cosa tenera 🥰
ReplyDeleteBoth the pictures and the fruit pits are such sweet ideas! What a creative teacher these lucky children have. Teaching them pride in their creativity and showing them ways they can give back! Lovely life lessons to learn at an early age.
ReplyDeleteI love this art made by kids and what a wonderful idea about the pits.
ReplyDeleteThis is powerful! Thanks for sharing. Shalom!
ReplyDeleteYoung children began to know Mother Nature.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to see the kids learning the joy of giving at such a young age! ❤️ I love wandering around alleys like these, as long as they’re safe. Have a wonderful weekend, Veronica!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the great pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to encourage the children to make art!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your live traffic feed, you are readers from just about everywhere!
ReplyDeleteMe ha gustado mucho ver esos dibujos de los niños decorando las calles. Gracias Verónica.
ReplyDeleteBuena semana.
Un abrazo.
What a lovely way to display the kids' artwork!
ReplyDeleteStumbling across something like that while wandering through Zadar would completely melt my heart because kids have this incredible, unfiltered way of wanting to leave the world a little greener. Taking the time to wrap up fruit pits in paper just so strangers can plant trees is the purest kind of magic, proving that the smallest gestures can turn an ordinary alley into something completely unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful. Provides a bit of optimism during these challenging times!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of thing because it shows how a small gesture can carry such a big idea. The children could have simply thrown the fruit pits away, but instead they turned them into little gifts for something that might grow long after they are gone. Finding something like this during a walk must have made the whole place feel a little more special.
ReplyDeleteI love how something so simple can carry such a lovely message. The idea of children saving fruit pits and giving them away so someone else can plant them is especially beautiful. It makes you realise how small acts of kindness can leave something behind for people we may never even meet.
ReplyDeleteWaving hi as I make my blog rounds. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice idea ;) Have a nice day!
