Kid crafted wrapping
While looking for a birthday gift among the craft kits at Target, I saw Crayola fabric markers. The wheels started turning so we picked up a box of those in addition to a bead kit for Jane's friend. When we got home, I pulled out a couple of plain canvas totes and set the girls up for some craft time. I instructed them to draw a sketch of their idea on plain paper before they started drawing on the tote. An hour later, Jane had produced the cutest bag for her friend Kathleen and Kate had a new tote of her own. I heat set the markers by putting the bags in the dryer on high for 30 minutes. The whole project was fun for the girls and kept them occupied for a good chunk of time which was good for me. We wrapped the bead kit in the tote bag for the cutest, reusable wrapping. You bet we will be doing this again.
