Do you know how much plastic is wasted just so people can do the Saran Wrap game every holiday season? Sickens me, really. You should go with Playsilks instead!

Drumstick without a drum. That's just a weapon. Hes not wrong lol
We ride at dawn!
Everything is a Wheapon in a toddlers hands 😂
Well, it also just turns everything else into a drum
@@Givk I like the way you think.
@@brandym3926 speaking from experience 😅
I feel bad for the kid that got the wooden circle too
I just don't know if I should cry or laugh
😂😂😭😭
drill a hole. supply some paint and they have an ornament (. once they finger knit the string)
We actually have a wooden circle identical to that sitting on our mantle that my little boy made a star on at homeschool co/op last year 😂😂
When I was a kid I had so many wooden circles, I used them to paint or make doll furniture, I now realise that I was actually a pretty creative kid
@@CHCH2NWere you homeschooled? 🤗
I love how the husband thinks she’s weird but is trying to be supportive anyway. He’s not mean about it, but makes it clear he thinks some of this is ridiculous. My husband has this vibe with me with some of my ideas. Lol.
Your profile description is awesome lol
@@trytoholdon I had to go reread it. I had forgotten what I wrote. It’s still all true though. Thank you.
Ha! 🤣
My now-ex husband would just say--
"what in the hell? what's wrong with you?".
Or, the look on his face would say it.
After awhile, he didn't have to say anything.
Though we lived in the very-crunchiest of crunchy far Northern California, the ex-Mr. Redwood Rebelgirl was never very crunchy.
He's a Texan.
@@babymama406 Well it is adorable! We forgive the Pickleballer. 😅❤
He said it was kind of fun - unless he was being sarcastic
The dad is like “OhHhHhH!” he wasn’t ready for this 😂😭
“It’s just a weapon “ it EXACTLY what goes through my head with certain toys 😂😂
Everything is a weapon if you use it wrong enough.
SAME!
First kid be like "it's a wooden circle, thaaanks!" 😄🥑
Lmaoooo😂
Lmaoooo😂
You're probably lucky if they don't throw it at you.
If they team up with the kid who has the drumstick, they can be little menaces cause that circle looks like a projectile to me 😂
I love that these references are still alive
I want to know how crunchy mom got to be crunchy. Her parents aren't crunchy, her husband doesn't seem to come from crunchy, I want a backstory
I saw the creator on an interview. She's very sweet. She said when she had kids she became aware of everything in all the foods and items we use. That's kinda it. It's a good interview to seek out. She's made videos for years.
Probably the same way all new crunchy moms do: the internet 😄😄😄😄
Mommy blogs… I almost went down the crunchy path too
I'm assuming you simply become crunchy once you have children, happened to my mom too ahahajsks💗
We deserve to know the crunchy origin story
I actually would've been thrilled to get a Beatrix Potter book as a kid. Her books were my favorite!
Yeah, *that* was the clear jackpot of the set to my mind. No offense to the wooden airplane, but a Beatrix Potter book and the right support to read it to you/help you learn to read it yourself if needed because of your age, are WONDERFUL things.
Crunchy dad being so damn supportive
Fun fact: Beatrix Potter, the author and illustrator of many children’s books, most famously “Peter Rabbit” was a very important and very well respected mycologist(mushroom/fungus scientist). Her watercolor paintings of mushrooms are gorgeous and are still used to today to a certain extent with species identification. She was also the first to create/make merchandise of her creations, with a Peter Rabbit stuffed animal in 1903!
Beatrix Potter was a really sweet aspect of my childhood. I would have loved to get one of those books.
🐰 🥕 🪣 Mr McGregor 🐇
I love how the ball turns into a pile of fabric after like one pull. 😂😂😂
Didn't know what saran wrap game means, had a search on CZcams and have to say I love crunchy mom so so so much for not promoting the use of billions of tons of plastic wrap foil - no matter what gifts she wrapped 🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Where I'm from we just call this game "Pass the Parcel". The parcel is made with old newspapers, except for the last layer in the centre containing the winning prize...that usually gets covered in brightly coloured wrapping paper. A little bit crunchier than Saran wrap but Crunchy Mom's cloth ball still has us beat.
@@MM-wr4ok same, I kept on thinking "I thought ppl used paper...why saran wrap??"
I started my crunchy xp a few years ago. If i gift a present to my clostest people they already know it will come wrapped in a scarf for example. They find it nice i used the same scarf for many gift and still find ways to pack it cute❤
@@606aichan7O7 paper, most times, get used 1 time and then throw away. So... when the cloths make sure no paper is needed then you got your answer😊
@@PiinkypanterTraditionally it's newspaper, so it's already been used
I was so happy when I saw the Peter rabbit books I have those too Peter rabbit was literally my childhood
Me too!
The ending of "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin" always cracked me up. "No! Mr. Owl is eating supper!" *Slams book shut* Well...that was...jarring 😂.
UGH I'D FORGOTTEN THAT but as soon as I saw your comment I could see the illustration clearly in my mind and my 6-year old self thinking "noooooo", hahaha
never heard of it
@@micaelamorrigan2544It’s an early 20th-century children’s book with beautiful illustrations by the famous British children’s author Beatrix Potter. The Tale of Peter Rabbit is her most famous, but The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is fairly well-known too, and has a rather…direct…lesson at the end.
It’s public domain, so you can find the whole thing online (Project Gutenberg has a good scan I believe) if you want to see it. As a kid’s book it’s a pretty quick read for an adult.
Without a drum it's really just a weapon...
I feel this as a mama of a multitude
For those who don’t know what the saran wrap game is it’s basically where prizes of randoms things like money, candy, etc. are wrapped up in a giant ball of saran wrap and the person tries to unravel it as fast as they can while wearing oven mitts while other players roll dice to get doubles, and then when they do the ball is passed overto them. It’s super fun with a big group of people!!
Thank you. Today during my lunch break was the first time I had ever even heard of the game!
Just use old newspaper, like you do in the game Pass the Parcel. England and *some* of the places they colonised have been re-using old newspaper like this in their kids' party games for decades. Possibly centuries at this point, lmao why bring plastic into it at all? When I saw this "Saran Wrap Game" all over the web in the noughties I just wanted to facepalm. It is the exact same concept as "Pass the Parcel" but far more costly on your wallet and the environment...and people can see what prizes are coming up next in the layers too, no surprise element for the littler kiddos. :((( the only good thing thing we got outta England was Pass the Parcel but people are buying plastic wrap on top of all the other party supplies and screwing over their planet a bit extra in the process...okay haha
We use newspapers instead of saran wrap for our Saran Wrap Game. 🥰
I would have adored getting a Beatrix Potter book in a Christmas game as a kid! Always loved those stories ❤
“the tale of jeramy fisher”
it’s giving the summer i turned pretty 😂❤😮
i thought of jeremiah too😭😭
I like the use of the silks… though some of the prizes could be improved on!
I actually like this idea, and I think kids would like it too! I've not heard of the game before - is it like pass the parcel, or is it just for one kid?
You wrap lots of little prizes in plastic wrap, altogether into one large ball, usually around the size of a basketball. Ideally the nicer prizes are at the center. The way my family plays it, 1 person true to unwrap as fast as possible, while the second person rolls 2 dice repeatedly. When the roller rolls a double, the unwrapping turn is over. You get to keep what you unwrap. Then the next person unwraps and the person who was unwrapping rolls the dice Some versions the person unwrapping has to wear oven mitts while unwrapping. It can be a lot of fun. We usually get stuff from the dollar store, some candy and usually the nice prizes are usually things like gift cards to like McDonald’s or $5 or 10 to Walmart. After unwrapping, then we usually do trades, 1 year, my sister put several bags of baking chips in , her little daughter kept getting them, I got sparkling lip gloss, I traded that to my niece for the baking chips since I like to make cookies and she was 6 & liked sparkling lip gloss
@@sheilarough236 YUP, confirmed...Saran Wrap Game is just a suuuuper unenvironmentally friendly way of playing "Pass the Parcel".
@@sheilarough236 Oh okay, here in Australia we use the free newspaper.
I have that airplane 😂 our neighbors gave my kids a box of their kids’ old toys when we moved in. There was a fire truck and a dump truck, too. You didn’t need this information, but you’re welcome 😂
I know "Pass the Parcel" when I see it! Bluey never steers me wrong! 😂
I thought pass the parcel was always with wrapping paper, this is still much better however :)
Thank you for getting crunchy dad onboard. You two make a good tandem.
You can tell he's having so much fun with this
The take of squirrel nutkin is one of my favorite childhood stories
And I thought I got crappy presents as a kid.
Crunchy moms kids will definitely grow up to be happy about little things. When they turn 18 and get to go to the mall and eat fast food it will be like an adventure
she was pregnant so she thought of eating healthy and living healthy....
the more she read those articles the deeper she dived in the rabbit hole of crunchiness.... That's how she is the only crunchy in the family 🤣😅
I love Kinda Crunchy Dad. I get the vibe that some of the things she has changed about their life he's totally on board with, it makes sense, he wants their family to be healthier too, and some of it he thinks might be a little silly, but he loves her, it makes her happy that he goes along with it and it isn't too crazy, so he just goes along for the ride.
The plane is an awesome gift!
We love those stories. We have them on audible and my kids know it by heart because that's all my 4 yo wants to listen to😂
Whelp, time for me to google what the heck The Saran Wrap Game is. Never heard of it in my life.
Edit HOLY HECK 5 BOXES OF SARAN WRAP FOR A GAME?! The turtles man....why would anyone do this?!
I didn't know it either- BUT 5?!?
A chef doesn't even use that much in a day (I think)...
Gosh- now I know why the earth is dying..
It’s fantastically fun. And, the seran wrap is actually reusable for the game for following years because you aren’t supposed to tear it.
Because no one cares about the consequences of their choices for five minutes of fun..
Okay, I get that you're going for the wastefulness aspect of this, and I agree that it's stupid wasteful, but why are we even feeding all our waste plastic to turtles anyway? How about we just stop casting our trash into the sea?
@@JawshMcCullaugh Easier said than done. This doesn't account for the large percentage of people who just don't care.
I worked at an amusement park for years. This amusement park had waste bins, no lie, every few feet. Literal hundreds of bins everywhere. People would still simply throw their garbage on the ground. A lot of times even RIGHT NEXT TO a bin. All the "why don't we" in the world doesn't account for straight human apathy and slobbery.
Squirrel Nutkin is the best of all the stories!
“Weren’t willing to give up Peter rabbit? I understand…” 😂❤ love your videos
In the uk it’s pass the parcel. Each layer is made up of wrapping paper and has some sweets/candy but the middle has the big prize
🎉 Australia also "Pass the Parcel" What's Saran Wrap?
Is it cling film, Glad Wrap (brand name), plastic wrap?
Like the idea of using different materials.
If someone was really clever, they could use pillowcases with the year, event/party embroidered on them or Christmas tea towels for the recipient to take home.
Gosh, I just surprised myself with that idea!
Crunchy Mum I am not.
Cheers from Aus.🐨 🇦🇺 😊
I've never heard of people using saran wrap for this game. I'm not crunchy but that is a horrifying waste of cling wrap. In Australia, the game is called "pass the parcel" and it's usually done using newspaper, butcher paper, or re-purposed gift wrap paper. It all gets recycled or composted afterwards.
That's a lot of beautiful play silks!
I mean, the Beatrix Potter stories are legit a very nice gift. Tho the fact Squirrel Nutkin wasn’t with Peter Rabbit in the “not willing to part with it” pile has me shaking my head.
I feel like seeing this was serendipitous, I was literally looking up saran wrap alternatives yesterday lol
I feel like those cardboard gift boxes with the lids tied with twine or ribbon could work, with a series of smaller and smaller boxes nested inside each other along side prizes. And then you can reuse or recycle the boxes afterwards. so instead of unwrapping it, it's getting the bow undone that's the obstacle. probably best done with not too many knots if using oven gloves, just a shoelace bow with big loops to pull, but then you could also wrap the twine/ribbon around a bunch to make it so you have to unravel it. Or alternatively, use no oven gloves but knot the ribbon well. And the twine/ribbon can be reused too in the end. I have not play tested this though, just came up with it off the top of my head.
Most of these are gifts I’d love to receive!! And it’s such a fun way to do that! I’d also probably have such a ball with playing with the cloths by swooshing them around
Usually people in Australia play this with wrapping paper
I have never heard of the Saran wrap game before this moment in time. Sounds fun.
I appreciate how good of an actor crunchy dad is
I have no idea what saran wrap but to me it looks like you are playing pass the parcel? In Australia we use old newspaper and wrap the prizes in between. You can recycle or reuse the newspaper
"Drumstick without a drum. Really it's just a weapon." Boy ain't that true...
Saran Wrap is one of those things for me where sometimes I don’t mind touching it and other times I HATE touching it. I’d never considered cloth/play silks as an alternative! Thanks!
We used to play this in primary school! 😆 we used scarves too or newspaper... never plastic wrap...
Used to be so exciting!
That drum stick really is just a weapon lol. He is 100% correct!
I actually really love this idea!
I love the scarves instead of plastic wrap!!
Just use old newspaper, like you do in the game Pass the Parcel. England and *some* of the places they colonised have been re-using old newspaper like this in their kids' party games for decades. Possibly centuries at this point, lmao why bring plastic into it at all? When I saw this "Saran Wrap Game" all over the web in the noughties I just wanted to facepalm.

Okay haha..
I can't believe how invested I am in these characters....
STOP I LOVE THE TALE OF JEREMY FISHER IT'S SO GOOD !!! 😭😭💟💟💟💟
I would love the little wooden circle
Actually love this! Definitely trying this eco friendly version out on Christmas! I could never do it with all that plastic before 😳
“really that’s just a weapon”😂😂😂
I love love love this idea I'd only using the playsilks tied together ❤️ to reduce waste. I feel like a wooden peg doll as a gnome or a fairy would be an amazing add.
They forgot the value of the scarves wrapping!!! Those are gifts in themselves!
I keep thinking “he has to be exhausted at this point,” but nope. The man is a trooper.
guys I fucking love this channel
Is this not pass the parcel? We use like, brown paper or wrapping paper in the UK. Do people do this with cling film in the US?
Or old newspaper
"Really, that's just a weapon"😂
my friend has a similar thing for their dogs where they put the treats in a towel 😂
The fact that I could tell you the Taylor squirrel Nutkin from memory tells you that I am southern and Beatrice potter is amazing
When you are early enough that Ariana still has tears to cry
i did this at my co-op a while(years ago) and it was fun! but with saran wrap 😂
Where I'm from we just call this game "Pass the Parcel". The parcel is made with old newspapers, except for the last layer in the centre containing the winning prize...that usually gets covered in brightly coloured wrapping paper. A little bit crunchier than Saran wrap but Crunchy Mom's cloth ball still has us beat.
I truly need to know how these two met!!!
Poor crunchy dad. He loves books. Why should he have to give any up?
I think crunchy mom is the one giving up the books, as Crunchy Dad asks *her* whether she couldn't bring herself to give up Peter Rabbit.
Jeremy Fisher and squirrel nutkin were my favourite Beatrix Potter books
You don't give up Peter Rabbit. You gotta at least give Jemima Puddle Duck first.
I would
Like the dried orange slices.
We do the serán wrap game at my family too! Except most of the stuff is pretty silly. You’ll get a toy car, hand lotion, or Mardi Gras beads, or something else. It’s not really anything crazy, it’s just fun.
i would love and cherish that wooden circle for the rest of my life
Me too 😂🥺
I really like crunchy mom, she gives so much love to people around her ☺️
The way I GASPED when I heard the title of the book! My mom had the entire collection and passed it on to me- Squirrel Nutkin is one of my favorites!
Not the Jeremy Fischer book 😭 that's my favourite Beatrix Potter story
Crunchy Son long ago gave up his dream of an Xbox for Christmas.
Pass the parcel
His "i understand" is so sad and funny
So many good one liners 😆👍😆
Pass the parcel when I was a kid was played with newspaper, so play silks or furoshiki wraps doesn't seem too much of a alteration honestly 😅
Yeah maybe a cotton drawstring pouch with a few of them? A mineral or polished stone could be a cool one too. And I can see the kids fighting over the playsilks.
its like when people wrap up a towel with bits of food in it so that meal time is more enriching for the dog! 😂
Tale of mr Jeremy fisher was my favorite book growing up
I would actually love that basket please.😶
I can confirm, with boys, it's always a weapon!
As someone with a friend in percussion, drum sticks without drums are in fact a weapon
Ok but I actually love all of this.
I loved the tale of Jeremy Fisher when I was a kid!
Not me having a salad fingers flashback 😭
Oh uh a little wooden circle
Is that not just pass-the-parcel? We always played it with old newspaper as the wrapping
Jeremy fisher just woke up some memories i forgot I had
I remember what I was like as a kid - I would have been stoked on that tiny wood circle
The handwoven basket full of orange slices would actually make a really cute gift I think, just maybe not for kids
The gifts may suck but I like the idea with the fabric. You can do some really interesting knots with that. We play this game in my family and they go crazy. We keep two balls moving at the same time for added difficulty.
I cannot tell if this channel is making fun of the crunchy mom lifestyle or endorsing it
Gonna have to say my family's saran wrap game with gift cards and mini liquor bottles was more fun 😂
