Stamp Your Own Gift Bag
Gift Bag Supply List: 1 gift bag, 1 toilet paper roll, paint
Use a bowl or plate to mix up some paint. Cole wanted to mix some green with a little yellow and some glitter glue. Glitter glue is very popular around here these days.
Use your toilet paper roll to stamp circles on your gift bag.
Add some tissue paper and ribbon and you have a lovely gift for Father's Day!

Make Your Own Heart Wrapping Paper
This was a really fun activity that Cole absolutely loved. We made our own heart stamped wrapping paper for him to use to wrap up a little Valentine's Day present he had gotten for Dad.
Heart Wrapping Paper Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, large sheet of craft paper, paint, small piece of tape
Start by folding your toilet paper roll until it is in the shape of a heart. I put a small piece of tape across the top of the heart to help it keep its form. This worked out well because Cole didn't need to try to hold it together while he was stamping.
Dip your newly made heart stamp in your paint and have at it. The more saturated and mushy the end of the toilet paper roll became, the better the prints looked.
After stamping lots of pink hearts Cole decided to switch to purple. Instead of just getting him a new plate of purple paint I added some blue to the pink and we mixed them together.
Allow your paper to dry and then use it to wrap your present. This was a really fun project that I'm sure we will be repeating for other holidays.
