Send a hug

"Send a hug" would make a simple keepsake craft to mail to family and friends for Valentin's Day...or any holiday really! 

Have the child lay down on easel paper with their arms extended. Trace their head, neck, shoulders and arms and then have the child decorate it. Help them write a special message and mail! I did this at a community event just before Christmas and families loved the finished product.

Other ideas would be to just trace and cut out the child's hands (seen in the top left of the picture) or to cut out the tracing of the child's arms!
