Long Distance Hug

(This post contains affiliate links)

This year I wanted to send long distance family members a special Valentine from our girls, but I wasn't sure what.  Until I remembered an idea I used a few years ago with my former students (similar to this).  But I didn't want to fold up that much paper into an envelope, so I used ribbon instead.

I measured the arm spans of both girls and cut ribbon the same length (C and I did some comparing with the 2 sizes and measured with the tape measure)

I helped the girls paint hand prints, I cut them out and glued onto the ends of the ribbon.

The grandparents, both near and far, enjoyed receiving their special hugs.

**Not brave enough to use paint with your child?
Trace their hand on construction paper instead**
