I loved the idea of the kids sending their Mimi a hug in the mail. Unfortunately this was NOT one of the occasions where I read the post before attempting it. Oops.
I found a LONG scrap of butcher paper from a previous Amazon shipment. I'd saved it hating to throw out such a long piece of paper. I'd recommend trying to find a lighter color paper.
Then I let the big kids pick out their own color crayon and traced their upper body on the page. Curly and Specs orange and green colors don't show up well at allr! I picked purple for Tiny and it shows up very well, but I didn't want to go back on the kids' chosen colors. (for the big kids I traced their fingers, but I was struggling to keep Tiny from rolling over the whole time so I just traced her fists)
The original post has the kids coloring their faces and clothes on the hug, and the mother cutting it out. Since my kids are too young to spend that much time (much less accuracy) coloring, I didn't have them color it in and just wrote a message. Mimi will be getting a hug from all three kids at once in this case!
