Craft: Paper Hug
This week's craft is based on the above picture. Children were given a large cardstock heart and two small cardstock hearts to color. They glued paper strips to the large heard for arms. The little hearts were glued on the ends of the paper strips for hands.
Extension Activities:
- After reading Hugless Douglas, have a discussion about what makes hugs feel good (i.e. tight, soft, cuddly, etc.).
- Make several paper hugs to hand out to people. Maybe visit a nursing home or older neighbors/friends who would enjoy a paper hug from a child.
