Thoughtful Handprint Craft

Kids grow and change so quickly, that’s why I love doing handprint crafts to document their growth. A hug in the mail is a thoughtful handprint craft that is a great DIY gift to show someone a little extra love.

Supplies Needed For Hug Craft

• Cardstock
• Ribbon
• Tape / Glue
• Paint or Markers for decorating

How To Mail A Hug

Begin by tracing each of your child’s hands on the paper.

Next cut each hand out of the paper.

Now let your kid have fun decorating their hands (decorate both sides). We used paint, but you could use markers, glitter, or whatever your heart desires.

Take the ribbon and measure your child’s wingspan. 

Using tape or glue secure the ribbon to each hand.

You can write a special message on each hand or just write, “A hug from (child’s name).”
