The children gave their teacher a loving hug.
I´d translate it as:
The children gave their teacher a loving hug.
Or, since you´re translating poetry, you might use
The children embraced their teacher lovingly.
Hope it helps...

Just to point out, the answer you choose will depend on the style of literature which you are translating. If the work is fairly old then I think my answer would be appropriate. However, if it is a modern work I think that dominirosa's answer would be better.
