Basically, I picked up an inexpensive jar from the dollar store, added a label, and filled the jar with slips of paper containing ideas for simple activities. Cute, right?
The ideas in the jar should be inexpensive and simple. For example:
- Have a picnic
- Read a book outside
- Have a water fight
- Go for a walk
- Watch a movie
- Build a fort
- Get ice cream
- Play something with a ball
- Go for a bike ride
- Bake something
- Make a craft
- Do a science experiment
- Play a board game
- Try a new food
- Build a puzzle
- Have a dance party
- Go on a scavenger hunt
- Play tag
- Write a letter
You can make your own label for the jar or you can use mine.
To download the label I designed: click on the picture below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 4x6 photo.
Don't you love when a simple idea works well and makes your life easier?
This is a wonderful idea any time of year, but it's especially great for summer. What activities will you put in your jar?
