I don't know about you, but I always have really good intentions to save what is left of my wrapping paper after a holiday to be used in the future, but from one holiday to the next, the majority of my paper ends up crumpled and wrinkled and just in an overall state that is not fit for wrapping a nice present for someone. So I decided to re purpose some of that damaged paper into an activity for Izzy. The idea was just to wrap a small toy he already has and let him unwrap it and repeat that process as long as he was happy or until my paper ran out. It turns out that my paper ran out before he got bored so that is a pretty good sign. He had a lot of fun tearing open the paper to find his monkey and when I got to my last piece of wrapping paper, I decided to wrap a package of fruit snacks so he could get a nice treat out of it all. It obviously wasn't his birthday, but to him I think it might have felt kind of like one. Cost: Free with paper you already have or $1 for a roll at the dollar store

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
