This is a Lenten tradition I grew up with.
Directions:
1) Fill the heart shaped box full of stones
2) Place your [empty] glass or plastic vase next to it
3) When a child does a good deed, they get to move a rock out of the stony heart and put it into the vase (which represents building up the kingdom)
4) Continue this throughout lent

6) When your children wake up on Easter morning, let there be a glorious surprise inside of their heart shaped box because we made room for Jesus who dwells in each of us!
