This morning we painted bubble wrap to make Christmas cards. 
I pre-cut bubble wrap into triangles and provided paint and paper.

     The children were encouraged to print inside the card.
The words, ‘to’, ‘from’, and ‘Merry Christmas’ were available
              for the children to copy if they wished.
