My wonderful intern, Katie, created the best little activity during centers last week. She pulled out the blocks, a couple rolls of wrapping paper, scissors and tape. Bam! A great center for fine motor skills! How many of you are wrapping present challenged? It takes something to wrap a present. The children put their “pretend” presents under our tree. So cool.
You have a very creative intern! What fun play for the kids!
Happy Holidays!

She was the best! I felt so blessed!
I love this idea. Very creative. I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Nothing is better than having a ton of hugs from your kids and a Starbucks!! What a lucky mom to have such a loving daughter.
Great idea for the block center or art center:)
I threw a Christmas party for my Play2Learn (meetup.com group) and we did this as an activity, it was a HUGE hit with the kids. We used empty boxes, but blocks would have been a lot of fun too!
Isn’t it amazing how engaging “wrapping” a block can be? The boys loved it as much as the girls. Fun stuff and excellent fine motor practice!
