Mail a Hug

Posted February 20th, 2012 in crafts, folio by Mitsy

We miss our Big Family.  We wish we lived close enough to give hugs. Guess we’ll just have to send our love by post.

Get a long roll of paper— long enough to fit with your arms outstretched, ready to hug. Hold very still while a grown-up traces around you. It shouldn’t tickle. But giggling is allowed as long as you don’t wiggle.

Draw your face, hair, and any other details you want to include. Use crayons, markers, paint, glitter, stickers. Get creative.

One lucky family member will be receiving this first hug in the mail. You’ll have to take it out and let it give you a SQUEEEEEEEZE.

    It’s like Flat Stanley! Only more loveable. Perfect!

  4. Hi! I just found your blog and love it! I’m writing a guest post for another blog next month and I was wondering if I could link to this craft and possibly share a picture (with proper acknowledgement and link-backs) Please let me know, thank you!

    Melissa
