Hello Makers!This is SUCH a fun project with kidsand you’ll also feel like Santa!MakeSnowball Print Wrapping Paper for KIDS.I was inspired to use a super-fun process thatBar Rucciuses in her new book,Art Workshop for Childrentomake thisSnowball Print Wrapping Paperfor kids.I prepped by cutting and setting outlayer upon layer of craft paper, white paint andmuffin tins. Yes:muffin tins.
When I was looking through my copy of my friend,Bar’s book “Art Workshop for Children,”I saw that she sharedprinting with muffin tins. I loved the idea. I thought it was a greatlure for big, busy kids, although I can also imagine the wonder it induces in pre-schoolers! With this “invitation” to create, set out on our kitchen table;by the end of the day, we had enough snowball and snowman wrapping paper for all of our needs. This kid-fun project iscollaborative if you’d like; solo for the solitairy creator and useful!Wrapping paper is such a fun handmade element to create for kids.
MATERIALS FORSNOWBALL PRINT WRAPPING PAPER
Paint, muffins tins, paper (We used craft paper but, anything works)
MAKE:
- Cover backs of muffin tins with paint
- Turn tin over and press paint covered tin onto the paper.
- Let dry
- Embellish if you’d like!
- Wraps, ready for the holidays!Snowball Print Wrapping Paper made by kids!
We happened to have cupcake tins in several sizes which I also set out and ended up finding a match so that we could create double prints and snowman.
If you don’t have tins that would match, you could also print a first printing with a large tin, then return with a smaller cup to print the heads. Let these dry and later return to embellish Snow Men!

If you’re an art teacher to pre-school or elementary school children, then, you might already know Bar’s work. If not, I’m so very happy to share her blog and book with you. Bar is a natural, joyous, creator and shares generously in herbook“Art Workshop for Children,”Betsy McKenna, collaborated with Bar and is a specialist in Reggio Emilio withdecades of hands on knowledge and authority that she’s also contributed to the book. I feel extra lucky to have also met Betsy who, too, is an absolutely wonderful person. I could easily spend days with these two creating and talking — sharing their passion with children, creativity and learning.
There are whole sections in this book on setting up an art area and hanging your child’s art, and just lots of inspiration. I really think you will love it. Out of the 27 workshops, only two are from Bar’s blog, so 25 new ideas!I could go on and on but, instead: will use action: take a look for yourself at theART BAR BLOG.
