Elmo’s Rainbow Hug
Send this loving card to a friend who could use a hug!
Encouraging kids to show love, whether that’s saying “I love you,” giving a gift, or drawing a picture. Talk to your child about sharing positive feelings and explain, “It makes people feel good to know how much you care.”
Decide on a caring friend or family member (or anyone who could use a smile or a hug) to receive Elmo’s Rainbow Hug. (Print as many as you’d like.) Invite kids to color the card, cut it out, and give (or send) it to the recipient.

Coloring together can soothe both children and grown-ups.
See You Later Alligator
A special, loving good-bye routine can make separations easier.
Friendship Bracelets
When it’s hard to be apart from those we love, the littlest things can become big reminders that someone loves us and is thinking of us.
Cloud Watching
Spending time outside can feel like a “reset” on the day.
Pillow Hugs
Hugging a pillow covered with an item of a loved one’s clothing can help comfort children when they’re missing them.
