Hand Made Gift Wrap

In our family there are a flurry of birthdays from May through till August. With so much gift giving, there comes a need for much gift wrapping, and I took the opportunity to let the kids do a little craft. (plus it provided half an hour of entertainment - perfect when I needed to sit down and feed the baby). The hand painted wrap by Beau at Christmas was a lot of fun, but Noah is loving his new-learned writing skills and so we decided on crayons and pencils for this round of DIY-gift-wrap.

There was name writing, hand and foot tracing and Octonaut drawing. Even ambidextrous colouring at one point. It was all alot of fun. The boys were very proud of all their colouring and writing.

The presents looked great and were enthusiastically received by all the birthday people. I believe this wrapping has even been recycled as a wall hanging in my nephews nursery!

Have you done any fun craft activities with the kids laterly?
