Valentine's Idea

Clap Happy

On February 14, six-year-old Quinlan Adams of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, gives his teachers a big round of applause and a little luxury: a tube of hand lotion.

Materials

• Marker

• Tube of lotion
• Double-sided tape

Instructions

1. Trace your child's hand on card stock. Cut out the traced hand and use it as a template to make a second hand.
