Holiday Wrapping Paper

Most years we like to make Chef party mix to deliver to neighbors and friends doors, but this year, pressed for time, we decided to wrap bars of dark chocolate and make the hand-made part be the wrapping.

Sheets of brown kraft paper, jars of tempera and acrylic paint and brushes were left on the kitchen table and the kids painted dashes and dabs to the papers as they passed through the kitchen.  (Always good to get them picking up a brush since it seems they do less and less as they leave elementary school.)

Another good way to stay comfortable with the brush is this- love the Buddha Board.
