If you still have wrapping to do and need to keep your little ones occupied, how about having them help you decorate gifts? Creating personalized wrapping paper is a fun activity that will help kids practice their fine motor skills and develop their creativity (and grandma will surely LOVE it!)
Here’s all you need:
butcher paper
glitter
glue
stickers
tissue paper
Steps:
- Wrap the gift in butcher paper (white paper would work as well)
- Outline the name with glue
- Have your child tear up tissue paper and make little balls, placing them on the glue until the name is done.
- Decorate: add stickers, make glitter designs, ribbon, etc. You can also add a photograph that the person can save!) Another cool idea? Use paint to make hand prints!
- Place under the Christmas tree!
Of course, this activity is also a great activity to practice language skills. You can ask questions about colors, shapes, letters, etc.
