Valentine Hug Craft for Preschoolers

First, paint preschoolers’ hands with washable red paint. Then have them leave a left handprint and a right handprint on the paper. Cut out the prints and attach each to one end of a 30-inch piece of yarn. Then tuck the “hug” into an envelope with the poem glued to the front.

Valentine Hug Poem

I made this great big hug just for you,

To share my love, it’s true.

Wrap it around you, all snug and tight,

Hold it with all your might!

For Valentine’s Day and all the year,

God loves you—that’s reason to cheer!
