DIY Wrapping Paper
We had two birthday parties yesterday–one for our nephew and one for a close friend from church. It was quite the fun-filled day!
Rather than letting Big Brother help pick out a birthday gift (since let’s face it–he would end up giving our 4-year dainty girl friend a ferocious T-Rex or something), I let him take ownership of the gift-wrapping instead.
We used plain white wrapping paper since I already had it on-hand, but you could even use paper grocery bags turned inside out!
And the finished product…Gotta love kid-art! :)
Oh, that is a great idea. We have lots of packing paper coming in as stuffing and I just flatten it out and use it for coloring, but I could use that also as wrapping paper too.
This is great! Love that you wrapped them first, then let him loose on the gifts. Then all the good stuff is visible!
We do this a lot. The grandparents just love it! :)
Your blog is adorable!
I just came across your blog and I love, love, love it! Wish I found this months ago. We love doing crafts, we are on a very tight budget, and we've been doing a preschool co-op. I also love the parenting tips. I'll have to check out that book making children mind without losing yours. That's been our recent struggle of the last few months, I have not been as patient and I lose my temper/yell which I never wanted to do as a mom. it's been so hard to try and cut that out.
