Elf idea: One last hug

The elf is holding out both arms with a note asking for a goodbye hug before heading home. It takes about 3 minutes and hardly any effort; you need paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

A morning line from your elf

I'm allowed one hug per child on the last day. Make it a good one. I've got a long flight.
