Carly Marinaro said her kids' grandmother has been longing to hug her babies, so she created a hugging device out of PVC pipe and clear plastic to bring a smile to everyone's faces. ROCKFORD, Ill. - A mom in Illinois came up with a way for her kids to hug their Nana while doing their best to keep her safe.
Carly Marinaro created a "hug time" device which would allow her children to wrap their arms around their Nana. She says she came up with the idea after seeing a similar video online where people wore plastic bags. "Nana has been longing to hug her babies," Marinaro said.
She used PVC pipe, clear plastic, livestock disposable gloves and a whole lot of love to make it, and set it up in their front yard.
