This is a really entertaining way to make wrapping paper.
The kids first made these "wiggle cups" at the science museum,
but they are really simple to make at home.
They require two AA's and the battery pack(s),
an old motor with a section of unused hot glue stuck on the end to make the motor unbalanced,
four markers taped to the sides of the cup.
Tape all of your parts into their proper places,
connect the power to the motor,
and watch them wiggle all over!
You can tape a large piece of paper to a table and let the bots run wild.
We have also used smaller paper inside of cardboard boxes to keep them from running off of the paper.
It is a big hit at kids parties as well.
If you don't have large enough paper to wrap with, try cutting open a brown paper bag and using that.
We also make use of the kids old artwork/drawings in this same way(especially the bigger papers)
It makes for a really fun and colorful gift!
