We had to wrap a few gifts for cousins and aunt, and I wanted the kids to be a part of the project. We were attending a family reunion and I wanted the kids to understand the importance of it.
We bought a roll of brown post paper and some foam stamps from dollar store. I rolled out the paper on the kitchen floor and gave the kids the foam stamps and washable colors on paper plates. They went crazy stamping, it was fun, I supervised of course. I told them which stamp to use and put different stamps in different place.
They had lots of fun and at the end; they told me they need a bath, which was needed. My only problem was to find a place to lay the rolled out paper to dry without kids walking over it. This is very economic too, as most gift wrappings at dollar store is low in quantity but for post paper there is enough paper to wrap more than ten gift.
At the end, we wrapped out gifts with these papers and I tied the gift with raffia and decorated it with some stickers and a charm for aunt.
Here is our result. Making gifts special and from heart is easy just need some creativity and patience.
Until later,

That is very creative, fun, and economical – great idea! It also looks awesome. I was saw someone use an old map book (Thomas Guide outdated) – tore out pages, taped together if needed larger sheet, wrapped, and used raffia too – it was colorful, recycled, and different.
