This week, I thought I’d pull out an idea from the archives: it’s an imaginative way to get the littles involved in present prep. Keeping kiddos busy while us parental-types are trying to finish last-minute, holiday prep can be a challenge. Here’s an easy activity that’s fun for toddlers to tweens, and results in something usable: “Snowball” Painted Gift Wrap! What you need: Any weight, White yarn Scissors Craft paint Plain wrapping paper Masking tape Make Snowball Pompoms Video Tutorial Paint with Snowballs Lay out and tape down, plain wrapping paper. Place a small amount of a couple of colors of paint on a plate or foil, give your kiddo the snowballs and let ’em have at it — dip, pounce and swoosh all over the paper! Let dry.
