Lavender
playdough hugs! there's nothing quite like a hug from
someone special on national hugging day, Valentine's day or, well
let's face it on any day! This fragrant purple playdough themed activity
combines sensory play and a gifted hug that helps to promote the benefits
a squeeze can bring, be it a smile, a chuckle or the warm fuzzy feeling
that comes from knowing how truly huggable you are! Meet our Lavenders;
blue, quartz and pink, cute little character hugs waiting eagerly
to share the delights of dough infused squashiness.

Once the lavender hugs are printed on card, trim around the outer
edge of each mouse and then use a craft knife to cut the two lines that
form a slot. Slide 5 or 6 lavender stems through and if necessary sticky
tape the bottoms in place. Present with a quantity of coloured playdough,
dried or fresh lavender, scissors, rolling pins, cutters and then have fun!

Lavender and it's large range of products enable
an equally large number of learning opportunities from supporting a country
or a county's own flowering variety to exploring the folklore, symbolism
and usage that surrounds this beautifully fragrant plant.
