DAY 6 of BEC Holiday Countdown brings you a fun craft idea for the kiddos in your life!
(Thanks to board member Lisa Beattie for today’s holiday craft suggestion.)
In this, the strangest of years, when we are isolated more than ever from each other, why not send a HUG in the mail to those you miss and may not see this holiday season.
Instructions:
1. Spread out on a long sheet of craft or butcher paper.
2. Trace the child’s head, arms, and torso onto the paper.
3. As your child to decorate as they see fit – paint, markers, crayons, stickers, whatever you have laying around.
4. You can cut out the “hug” either before or after decorating.
5. Print or write out the message below to accompany the hug.
I miss you when you’re far away
I’d love to see you everyday
But since I can’t come over to play,
I’m mailing you a hug today!
So although it may be quite a sight,
Wrap my arms around you tight,
Repeat daily to keep your smile bright,
Until we get to reunite!
6. Fold it all up and mail in an envelope! (Or drop it off, if you can do so safely!)
Here’s another option, if you don’t have a large enough piece of paper at home:
Consider this our “mailed” hug to each and every one of you! Happy Holidays!
