Did you know that you should include your child in the gift-wrapping part of gift-giving?! It addresses so many skills you probably didn't even realize!
Here are 5 reasons:
1. Practice writing - fill out a card, a label, or a tag
2. Visual perceptual skills - to estimate the size of the paper, you would need to fully wrap a gift.
3. Problem-solving - in case they cut the paper too small and it doesn't fit the whole gift.
3. Scissor skills - cut the gift wrap, ribbon, and tape
4. Bilateral coordination - two hands must work together to cut, fold, and tape the gift wrap.
5. Transfer those shoe-tying skills and tie a knot or a bow on the gift
Now that you know how many skills you can work on while wrapping a gift, it's time to make this part of gift-giving into a learning experience.
