I'm not a big fan of listening to Christmas music on the radio when I haven't even had enough time since Halloween to get the pumpkins out of my yard.  Or brushing past the Christmas decorations at Kohl's when it's still 70 degrees outside (even if that was an unusually warm day for this time of year.)  But it seems that it's time to get ready for the holidays, and The Craft Playground wouldn't want you to start planning without some good kid-crafts.

I hope you enjoy The New Gift Wrap ideas.  We've been looking for ways to cut down on wrapping paper (for environmental reasons) and those gift bags (because of the expense), without taking the fun or beauty out of gift giving.  I hope you like our gift bags made from recycled boxes.  And our eco-friendly snow bow will let you top your gifts with something that is not only free, but recycled.  And you can do all this with kids.

Please also enjoy the fun craft ideas including Balloon Ornaments and Snow Globes.  I'll be adding more ideas soon.  I hope this is enough to get you started.

Have a crafty holiday season!
