"This Valentine Hugs project is a classic. It’s been around for years and years and I probably even made one when I was a little girl! It’s a great project for preschoolers and they absolutely love the accordion arms. Because this is such an easy craft, younger kids can enjoy making it. Preschoolers can work on their dexterity using scissors and folding the arms and legs. It makes a great homemade gift to give to parents or grandparents. That’s why we call him Valentine Hugs! "
