Make Your Own Wrapping Paper

We had some down time today so I got out some red wrapping paper, green paint & a Christmas tree shaped sponge and let Riley go to town making her own wrapping paper. Once it was dry we wrapped all of daddy's presents in the homemade wrapping paper. This is a cheap way to make a present more special for family members.

*If you don't have a Christmas shaped sponge you could also take a kitchen sponge and cut it into a circle to make an ornament shape or use a cookie cutter to trace another shape into the sponge.
