This is a simple craft that doesn't take any special equipment or make a mess. It is a cute way to send loved ones a hug through the mail. "Snail" mail is now "Sloth" mail. Heehee!
I got this idea from the most recent issue of Highlights High Five magazine. This is how we made ours.
To make a template fold a piece of paper in half and draw a shape for the sloth. You can also make a template for the heart of you like. The other pieces are easy to freehand, so don't bother with making templates for them.
Use your template to trace the sloth shape onto paper. Also, draw out a face, claws for each paw, and a heart.
Cut out the shapes and color them.
Glue the pieces together.
Make sure the children get involved. :)
Fold the legs so that the sloth can sit up right. Ta da! Like I said, this project is really easy!
Mail your sloths off to those people that you would like to hug, but are too far away to do so. I am sure your sloth hugs will brighten someone's day! :)
This is a cute project idea. :) Thank you for sharing!
