How to Transform Leftover Wrapping Paper and Boxes into Fun Crafts



The holidays often leave behind an abundance of wrapping paper scraps and empty boxes. Instead of tossing them, turn these leftovers into creative crafts that your child will love! Crafting is not only a great way to bond but also supports the development of fine motor skills and sustainability values. Here are some ideas to get started:

  1. Wrapping Paper Collages
    Let your child cut or tear wrapping paper into shapes and glue them onto a blank sheet to create colorful designs.

  2. Cardboard Box Castles
    Transform empty boxes into castles or playhouses. Use markers, paint, and stickers to decorate.

  3. Mini Gift Boxes
    Decorate smaller boxes with leftover wrapping paper and ribbons to use as keepsakes or gifts.

  4. Wrapping Paper Snowflakes
    Fold and cut wrapping paper into snowflake designs to hang around the house.

  5. Wrapping Paper Beads
    Roll wrapping paper into beads for jewelry-making projects.

Crafting together teaches children about sustainability while sparking creativity. Night Watch Childcare embraces these values in our programs, helping children turn everyday items into imaginative projects.
