Instructions for grown-ups
- Go on a treasure hunt with your little ones to find a good sized potato before you start crafting.
- Ask your child to draw a bone on the brown card to create the present label. Then cut this out and put to one side for later.
- Now get the potato, cut the potato in half, and dry both halves with paper towel.
- Ask your little ones to draw a heart shape on one slice, then a bone on the other with a pen or pencil.
- Then carve the shapes out using a knife to create your own stamps.
- Prepare the paint and stamps ready for the fun part.
- Help the little ones to apply paint onto the stamps with a brush, testing and dabbing off the excess on a scrap of paper.
- Stamp your design all over your wrapping paper and let dry. If you already have a specific box to wrap, you can precut the paper to fit that box.
- Cut the paper to fit your present and wrap normally.
- Finish it off by gluing the back of Christmas label from step 2 to your present and tie it with the ribbon.
