Home made wrapping paper, always done by my kids. And they can create these from a very young age. Speaking from experience, grandparents adore it

You can get stuck with having no wrapping paper. A great idea!

I recently wrapped a present for my husband with one of our toddler’s paintings. Husband loved it.

when my son was little I used to do this, it is an amazing idea. but now that he’s older, he doesn’t paint as much.

I did this recently and made a stack of different ones with the kids, it is great to grab one out and use it – makes the kids feel special and the person receiving generally loves it too!

I just saw this in my newsfeed and the red splotches on the white background made me think of Halloween. You could also make this a Halloween craft (maybe for older kids!) of bloody hand prints – if that’s not too much for your kids.
