Hand-decorating gifts is a fun, playful, eco-friendly way to delight your gift recipient and connect with little ones. This is also fun with or without kids! We use markers, pencil crayons, stickers, paint, or crayons - then we tie a pretty ribbon around our gifts and attach polaroid photos, dried oranges, paper cranes, or other fun things. You can purchase the prettiest ribbon from Crocus and Ivy (not sponsored).
Even if you don't use the paper for decorating, rolling this out on your floor with some washable markers or pencil crayons, or stripping the kids down and getting out the washable paint will provide screen-free home entertainment for hours. Enjoy! Purchasing these rolls from the links on our website will be the exact same cost to you. Amazon will give Project Play YQR a small portion of your purchase fee, however, which we use to purchase playful books for children in Regina. Cheers! |
