I don\u2019t know why some people think wrapping Christmas gifts is such a chore, I love it. I think I like wrapping gifts much better than unwrapping, a wrapped gift has so much possibility.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

This week Emma had her first Christmas market at school where she could go and buy gifts for family and friends with her own money (well the money I gave her), and surprisingly she was very thoughtful and really considered what the giftees would like.<\/p>\n

She couldn\u2019t wait to wrap them, which made me happy because hopefully she will discover the joys of gift wrapping and enjoy it for years to come.<\/p>\n

We wrapped lots of tiny little parcels using the leftovers of last year\u2019s Christmas wrap. (All except for a scarf which is absolutely, definitely not for me, but apparently for someone else who lives in this house that isn\u2019t Dad. I\u2019ll act surprised because she\u2019ll be delighted that she kept such a great secret.)<\/p>\n

So for this year\u2019s gifts, rather than going out to buy new wrapping paper, I was inspired to use materials we already had at home and we chose our favourite Disney superstar to be our featured motif – Mickey Mouse!<\/p>\n

No fancy stamps or templates required for this project, with just a potato and a carrot you can have fun stamping Mickey Mouse onto as much wrapping paper as you need. This is a super fun project for kids to do with just minimal guidance, it may get a bit messy but that\u2019s half the fun.<\/p>\n
