 Craft: Bear Hug
This craft was revised from a Valentine card.  Children colored a bear head and arms cut from cardstock.  They then folded in the arms so the bear could give hugs.

Literacy Extenders:
- List as many things you can think of that are soft and cuddly like in I Love to Cuddle.
- Place an everyday object in a bag and let your child try to figure out what it is just by feeling it like in Seven Blind Mice.
