Tash, from Cheltenham, UK, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
We traced the boys hands, Daddy cut them out, then we let the boys paint them. For Toddler I blue tacked them do the messy mat so they wouldn’t move around. While they were drying I measured their arm span with yarn and cut it to that length so they will get the actual hug size then tapped it to the back of the hands and done!
Everyone we have sent them to, family and friends abroad and a little far away! My toddler thought having his hands traced very ticklish so getting his hand outline wasn’t the easiest but worth it in the end!
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
I am Tash! I am from Canada but live in Cheltenham Uk and have lived in England for almost 8 years now! I have a toddler who’s 1.5 and a preschooler who is about to turn 4.
How are you finding being housebound so far?
I have found out a lot about myself as a mum during this time and that I am stronger then I thought I was before all this craziness! Creating my Instagram account @littlemooseplaytime has helped me loads
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Take time for yourself during the day when you can and it’s ok to be selfish!
