The shopping is done (almost…) and it’s time to get those packages under the tree. Get your kids together and make your own wrapping paper! It’s fast, cheap, and a fun activity
I didn’t make enough for everything, but I really like how it coordinates with the store bought paper. It really adds that extra bit of love to each gift
Materials:
- Butcher paper- found mine at Roberts. 5 ft/$1
- Potatoes & Carrots
- Paint
- Happy little helpers:)
1. Roll out your paper and pin down the corners. You could cut it into a couple chunks and let each child decorate their own
2. Cut your potatoes in half and carve out a design- you could let your kid draw it on first. Make sure the cut is level, so you get a good stamp. I used some carrots to make dots
3. Stamp away! I found it worked best to paint the potato with a brush and then stamp.
Have fun with the wrapping!
