Hope that you are all well, it was lovely to have lots of messages and photos last weekend after you picked up your bags, please carry on sending them to us, we love to know that the bags are being used.

Your donations for the Activity Bags came to about £60 this month which we will send to Home-Start.

This week has Valentine’s day and Nikki has created a hug for you to make, maybe you could send it to someone you haven’t seen for a while.

You will need:
Craft foam hearts, Pipe cleaner, Wiggle eyes, pen, Glue

Instructions:
The hearts provided have a sticky back.  You can unpeel the back or use glue.
Use a large craft foam heart as the face/body. Glue on wiggle eyes and a small heart as a nose. Use pen to add a mouth.
Take half a pipe cleaner and fold it in half, stick to the back of the large heart near the point (legs).  Glue on heart feet.
Take one pipe cleaner and stick to the back of the large heart, in the middle, with even amounts of pipe cleaner at either end (arms).  Stick on the smaller heart hands. 
The arms are quite long and can be bent to look like they are going to give a big hug.
