"Welcome to the Neighborhood" Kit tutorial

Help a new neighbor feel at home from the very first day, with everything needed to put a welcome kit together. This bundle includes a charming illustrated cover card and a fill-in-the-blank neighborhood guide, where you introduce yourselves and share local favorites — a restaurant, a coffee shop, a hiking trail, a day trip — to give someone new a real jumpstart on settling in.

Paired with the assembly tutorial, the bundle walks leaders through building out a complete welcome kit: what to include alongside the printables, how to assemble it, and tips for putting the activity to work whether you're delivering to an actual new neighbor or keeping kits on hand for the next family that moves in nearby.
