Gift Wrap Ideas (4): Gift Wrap for Kids

This is the fourth day in my 12 days of Christmas Gift Wrap ideas: Gift Wrap for Kids

When I first started writing these posts, I intended to call this post Gift Wrap for Boys…….But before the gender stereotype police start boycotting the site – I know!  These ideas may be just as popular with girls – and the floral, butterflies, ribbons, princesses and bunnies overload I had planned for the “girls” theme may well be perfect for some boys.

Gift Wrap Ideas (4): Gift Wrap for KidsThese ideas are suitable for all kids (big and small).  They use toys, hobbies and themes from around the playroom.  It makes me want to be a kid again.

1.  LEGO

A genius simple idea from Linesacross.  Almost as perfect as the plastic toy itself.

2. SUPERHERO

These superheroes bursting from their parcels make me smile every time I see them.  These are from a blog called I make things and Stuff .  I think I would be very sad to see these ripped open.  My kids would have no such qualms and would wade right in.DIY wrapping paper for kids Superheroes

3. CARS 

Another great and simple idea from Linesacross to make strips of road around the package, and attach cars to the side.
