Robert Munsch’s The Paper Bag Princess is a bestselling modern classic that features a princess who rescues a very snooty—and ungrateful—prince. The Princess Elizabeth is slated to marry Prince Ronald when a dragon attacks the castle and kidnaps Ronald. In resourceful and humorous fashion, Elizabeth finds the dragon, outsmarts him, and rescues Ronald–who is less than pleased at her un-princess-like appearance. Listen to The Paper Bag Princess here.

Inspired by Robert Munsch, this month’s challenge is to create a gift from a paper bag. Your job is to think unconventionally and be resourceful too. Help reduce your family’s environmental footprint this holiday season by redefining a paper bag or several paper bags into an original, ingenious gift! Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Make a present this holiday season for someone using paper bags!

Rules:
1. Single Entries only.
