WIND YOUR WAY TO FRIENDSHIP

GIFT WRAPPED

Why play this way?

At the heart of Frank & Bert lies a truly beautiful friendship. In crafting and gifting handmade treasures, your little one will express care and appreciation for their own friends. They'll explore natural items such as sticks, rocks, and shells, and learn how to wrap them beautifully with colorful yarn. This experience encourages creativity & fine motor skills while fostering a sense of thoughtfulness. If you’re lucky, your little one will make one for you!

SET THE STAGE FOR PLAY: 5 Minutes

Adult Participation: Optional

Ready

Natural items to wrap (e.g., sticks, rocks, shells)

Colorful pieces or balls of yarn

Basket or box

Set

Put your yarn and natural items in your basket or box.

Using Frank and Bert as inspiration (remember that scarf Frank made for Bert?), you will now make gifts for your friends!

  • Think about the friend that you would like to make a gift for today.

Play!

Choose the natural item you will transform into a special gift for your friend.

Tie one end of the yarn securely to your natural item.

Slowly wind the yarn around & around your item.

Feel free to tie off your original yarn piece and start again with a new color as you make your gift.

Keep going until your item is completely covered in yarn.

Decide how you will deliver this gift to your friend, and include a note if desired.

Return to your basket often to make gifts for new and old friends!

associated activities are amazing!
"They not only help my grandson see the relationship between an exciting subject and the real-world principles involved, but they also strongly personalize the experience for him. He learns that reading is fun, and that learning satisfies his natural curiosity."

Looking forward to gifting these again!
"I have always gifted books at birthdays and these felt like a natural extension of the gifts I already give. It's nice to also be able to give my friends something that comes with additional activities they may not have thought to do."
