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).”
