Wrapping Paper inspired by Pinterest

We had some presents to wrap for a birthday party we're going to tomorrow so this afternoon the girls made some wrapping paper.  Last time we made paper we inked some bubble wrap and used it like a stamp.  I want Ada to make more of it because it was beautiful but it's all gone.  It was so nice outside I decided to try doing this outside so we could make a big strip across the driveway and paint out there.



I liked this idea on Pinterest so I diluted some paint and mixed it in baby food jars then poured a little in plastic eggs.  The idea was that Ada could "crack" the eggs and pour them on the paper.




 It wasn't a big hit, but she liked using the little roller and some brushes.  Emma mostly just trampled through paper and made footprints.  She had fun:)











We used up the paint on another strip of paper and flicked paint on it and drove a truck through to make tire tracks.



I think these might be the most beautiful presents ever wrapped :)
