Wrap it up in this pa[p]er and place it over here.

Wrap- verb, predicate first clause

it – pronoun, subject

up in – preposition(s)

this-pronoun

paper-noun

and- article, conjunction (wrap and place)

place-verb

it – pronoun

over here-adverb

Wrap it up in this pa[p]er – first clause

place it over here.- second clause

Nikki and her friend walked to the sandy beach and swam in the ocean.

Nikki and her friend – subject

walked – predicate

to-adverb

the-article

sandy- adjective

beach- noun

and-coordinating conjunction (walked and swam)

swam-verb

in- preposition

ocean-object of the verb swam, noun

My guess is these sentences are are about the conjunction.

Actually, I see the first sentence as a compound sentence. both sides of the “and” are complete thoughts with an understood “you” as the subject:

(You) wrap it up in this paper and (you) place it over here.

Diagram accordingly as a compound sentence, placing the understood “you” in parenthesis.

In the second sentence, “to the sandy beach” and “in the ocean” are prepositional phrases modifying your compound verbs walked and swam. diagram accordingly.

but that’s just how I see it.
