Time for Project: Recycle & Create!

Bubble wrap prints gift wrap
This month recycling material is bubble wrap! Who doesn’t like bubble wrap? The perfect stress reliever and also perfect for making textured paint prints.

We decided to make gift wrap for a Father’s Day gift by using bubble wrap prints. Initially I had this awesome idea to cut their hand shapes out of the bubble wrap. It did not work as I planned(but I’m showing you in any case, keeping it real)!

The paint was too runny and they pressed too hard, and to top it off W(17months) was clingy, so not the best time to try and be creative!
If you want to have a go at it, perhaps try it with older kids and with thicker paint.

This is what it looked like.

Then I took out a cardboard tube and a toothpaste box, wrapped bubble wrap around the end and used that instead to make prints.

L(almost 4) enjoyed this and wanted to make something else too, so I drew a tree, and she pressed pink flowers all around the tree, just like cherry blossoms, pretty right?
