Kid art as wrapping paper

Maggie has found an ideal use for her daughter's painting projects:

Every week, my daughter comes home from daycare with lots of artwork - including two or three big sheets of newsprint covered with tempera. I can't keep all of it, but I feel guilty tossing it. So, the vaguely color appropriate became Christmas wrapping. It's also been used as birthday wrapping for her school chums. And, I wrapped all of her own birthday presents with her own paper.  She didn't seem to notice.

I've cut my kids' art pieces into strips which I then glued to pre-folded blank cards, and they looked beautiful and modern. Or, if you're tired of the clutter but can't abide cutting up or tossing your kid's creations, digitize them.

Here's another idea:

Get some 3x3 and even 6x6 ceramic tiles (I suggest a Habitat ReStore or other reuse place, and NON-GLOSSY tiles), paint, and felt.

Using the 3x3 tiles, let your child get his/her palm covered in paint, then press it on the tiles.

Using the 6x6, do the same but with his/her feet.

Let the paint dry, then spray several coats of sealant on them

Put the felt on the back side.

Give them out as coasters (3x3) or trivets (6x6)/

Yeah, it's called Fat Loss for Idiots but that's just to take advantage of the '...for Idiots' popularity. Truly the program respects the individual and assumes they have tried other diets and will have the good sense to realize what makes this one difference. It really works.
