Teach your preschoolers - Task 3 - Painting/drawing with a purpose

Im sure we all have about a million pictures lying around that our little ones have painted or drawn. Instead of throwing them out, why not save them and use them for wrapping paper for grandparents/family members and close friends? Its something they can keep and will love, and it

If the pictures are on small bits of paper, why not stickytape a few bits together to get the size you need? This goes off a hit with my family. Glitter and stick-on things works great for this as well.

Also, framing pictures that your kids have made works fantastic, and makes a priceless present. As does something as simple as them picking flowers and leaves out of the garden. Stick them between the pages of your phone book and stick a brick on them and hey presto - pressed flowers. Look great in frames!
