Now that many places are using recycled or green packing materials, we get lot of brown scrunched paper in the boxes when we order items online. If you unscrunch and smooth out that paper, it's often 4-6 feet long and 2-3 feet wide - absolutely perfect for kids to use to color, trace their bodies, draw pirate maps, or do various other fun crafty things with.
You can also ask newspapers for their discarded end rolls of newsprint.
I also use this paper to wrap gits. I do NOT smooth the paper out. After wrapping the gift I usually brush a stamp pad across the wrinkles, or brush a bit of glitter or even paint -- just barely brush, and then I have a nice package. A beautiful bow or lots of ribbon make it look very nice.
