Patience Mission

Practice our superpower of Patience by making it fun to be patient!

Being patient is hard! Join your TinySuperheroes Squad to practice this important superpower in a way that you can repeat again and again!

Grown-ups:  You have full permission to adapt any Mission in any way for the activity to be fun for your TinySuperhero! Use the steps below if they are helpful, and do it differently if they are not! Simply spending intentional time with your TinySuperhero is beneficial to their growing superpowers!

Patience Mission Instructions

Scroll to the right to view all the steps below! > > >

Step 1: Get ready!

Choose an event or special date in the future that you are excited about! Count how many days until that date.

 

Gather your supplies:  Paper, scissors, a marker, and tape.

Step 2: Create Your Countdown Chain

With help from your grown-up, cut one slip of paper for each day needed until your chosen event. 

 

Write numbers in order, one number on each slip, for the number of days until your special event.

 

Loop the papers together and attach them with tape. (Watch the video below if you have any trouble!)

Step 3: Countdown!

Tear off one piece of your countdown chain each day until the special date! This is a fun way to practice patience!

Step 4: Share Your Mission

Take & post a photo or video of you doing your Mission! Don't forget to wear your Cape! Tag @TinySuperheroes & #PatienceMission.

 

We want more Squad Members practicing their superpowers with us! The more you share your Mission, the more kids you will inspire to do the same!

 

Bonus: We love seeing videos of you! If you're up for it, make a video telling us about your #PatienceMission and post to TikTok!

Super Lizzie

"Super Lizzie and I went on vacation for 3 weeks to visit my family. Her dad wasn’t able to get the time off work to go with us.

Mission Program FAQ

Who can participate in the Mission Program?

All kids are welcome to participate! If there are 3 kids in your family, all 3 can earn a Patch. You just need to complete a submission for each participant individually to ensure they receive their Patch. Only the current month's Mission is free.  After the month expires, the Patch will be available in the shop! TinySuperheroes can participate from anywhere in the world!
 

No Cape is needed to participate in the program, but if your child has not been nominated for their official Cape, you can do so here: tinysuperheroes2.myshopify.com/pages/nomination-landing-page-2

How long do I have to redeem my Mission Kit?

Each month's Mission's claim codes are valid during that month's mission and for 45 days after. (Shipping charges will apply.)

My code is not working or I need help claiming my Mission Kit!

Contact our TSH team at patches@tinysuperheroes.com for assistance. We are happy to help!

How many Missions can I submit at one time?

You can submit up to 8 Missions in one submission.  You will receive a code that will will cover the cost of the number of participants you submitted.  You will want to add all of them to your cart before you checkout with the code.

Why do I have to pay for shipping?

TinySuperheroes charges a small amount for shipping & handling on monthly missions to help us sustain our commitment to offer free merchandise through the Mission Program.

Read more in Robyn's blog about this change here. 

What is the Autopilot Program?

We heard from several parents that their kids love participating in the Monthly Missions, but sometimes they miss a month or forget to submit their Mission.

 

The Autopilot is a solution to that problem.  The Mission Program remains as it always has, and during each month you have the opportunity to claim that Mission Kit for free (shipping charges will apply).

 

However, the Autopilot Program allows you to pay $7/month, and we will automatically mail the Mission Kit to you each month.  There is also an annual option. You can pay one time for the entire year, and receive the Mission Kit in your mail each month automatically.  You can read more or sign up at https://tinysuperheroes.com/collections/autopilot

How much does the Autopilot Program cost?

1 Mission Kit per month = $7 per month

2 Mission Kits per month = $12 per month

3 Mission Kits per month = $18 per month

4 Mission Kits per month = $24 per month

5 Mission Kits per month = $30 per month
