When A was 22 months old we made DIY wrapping paper for Christmas. This was the first Christmas where we got to involve A more meaningfully and I loved all the crafts and baking we did. I will cherish these moments forever and would love for her to look back on this time and remember it as fondly as I will.
To make the wrapping paper we used plain brown paper and three different patterns: a tree shape using a play dough cutter, a sponge brush to make small dots, and a paint splatter effect.
We had lots of fun and I love seeing how proud A gets when she sees the final product of what we do.
Cleaning up is part of the learning process, so make sure to encourage your child to tidy up after they finish playing. Model how to do it until your child feels confident enough to initiate the tidying up process independently.
