fun activity that's not very green

A few days ago I ran into World Market and purchased a bunch of rolls of wrapping paper for $0.49. I gave the kids each one, some scissors and tape and let them wrap away. At first they needed help figuring out size and cutting. Then I had the brilliant idea of cutting a bunch into different size pieces to make it easier for them. They wrapped and wrapped and wrapped. It was such a hit! An hour later they had set up a store where you could buy wrapped gifts. After everyone made their purchases we had a present opening session. It was a lot of fun AND it took up about 2 hours of the day. It was a great stay-out-of-the-FREEZING-cold activity!!

Sorry no pictures- I was too busy enjoying the solitude!
