Mail A Hug

An easy and creative kids DIY for friends and family who live far away or even close by. Receiving a hug in the mail is a warm and cozy way to brighten someones day.

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.

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).”
