As I have already planned to make personalized Christmas gift tags, I have also visualized what kind of wrapper I would use.
Yes, its WHITE.
White goes well with any color, doesn’t it? And this incidentally, is the theme for FilipinoMomBlog‘s Week 2 of the Fab Holiday Finds Meme.
Well white should go with any colors, especially the gift tags I made, so here are the inexpensive “Japanese papers” I bought to wrap my gifts in:

Join our weekly Tuesday Fab Holiday Finds meme at the FilipinoMomBlog.com.
This is the first round of the weekly Fab Holiday Finds over at FilipinoMomBlog.com.
For this week, the theme “any color” is what will guide us as we start off this fabulous Christmas meme.
Below is a more detailed version of one of the personalized Christmas gift tags I made last Sunday. I know it is not as fancy as the ones being commercially made but I still decided to push through with this simple project.
Yeah, I know some glue drippings can still be seen on the paper, bear with me, I haven’t done this for a while 🙂
Details for cost and materials can be found here, along with the other gift tags I have made.

Play-Doh by Hasbro is a non-toxic and non-staining modeling compound for children. It comes in different colors in small containers with lids matching the color of the Play-Doh.
Children can play with these Play-Doh for hours. They can be taught to identify colors as well mixing colors to form other colors. The basic yellow, red, blue and white set can yield other secondary colors like green, purple, orange, and pink, and a host of other colors that will be produced when these are mixed and matched.
Their imagination can also be enhanced when they try to make copies of things around them. Or better yet, create things and creatures out of their imagination.
Fine-motor skills like rolling, pinching, pounding, pulling, cutting and kneading.
They also get to experience sensory stimulation through feeling the modeling compound, sometimes using the environment as their tools.

Crayola crayons have always been a part of our lives. I admit up to now, I still enjoy smelling a newly-opened box of crayons. The smell just excites me. I am glad these crayons are part of my daily grind.
One of the things that I haven’t had the experience yet is to go visit the Crayola factory to see how these crayons are made. Such adventure is one of the field trip destinations of school children here in the Philippines.
