"A Long Distance Hug" (to send to loved one's far away)



"A Family of Flowers" (lollipops)

^ Have someone special, but far away, that could use a Valentine's hug?  My daughter & I made this one to send to her Papa.  It's the actual size of her hands and arm length!

 

OR

 

How about a flower alternative?  Not only did this craft cost way less to make than a bouquet of  ^

flowers, but it's also a fun alternative for the youngsters who don't quite appreciate those traditional floral gifts yet.
