Color Your Own Wrapping Paper

Inspired by this, we created some of our
own custom made wrapping paper. I found
some holiday themed templates online and
printed them out on card stock. I chose
simple outline shapes so the kids (and me
too) could be creative in coloring them in.
Cut out the templates and let the kids trace
them onto plain paper - we have a big roll of
butcher paper that is perfect for this project.
For younger kids, someone older can do the
tracings. We worked on our designs while
watching Christmas shows but this would be
a fun activity at a party also.
I made a simple template with
a tree, star and ornament that you can
download here but you can find more
cute printables here, here and here.
