Send a Hug for Valentine's Day!
|
Youth Services Librarian, Deborah, demonstrates how to make a "you-sized" hug to mail to someone you love. We all miss hugging during this time of physical distancing, but we can still find ways to connect and show we care. Enjoy this sweet and simple craft to spread a little love! Happy Valentines Day!
And if you want more great crafting ideas, we have lots of books in our nonfiction section to give you some ideas. Search for "crafts" in our catalog, or email Deborah for some recommendations: jaquithyouth@gmail.com |
