Board Jar

As mentioned in my last post I'm getting a board jar started. Not because my kids kept telling me that they were board over the holidays, but I felt I could have been more active with them. I found this idea on pinterest from whilehewasnapping.com and I loved how there was different categories, so I have gone with the same 7

• Things we can make
• Fun with food
• Quiet time activities 
• Things we can do
• Running off steam
• Outside play time
• Family activities

 So I made a list of activities for each group. I was going to buy icy pole sticks but I found lager ones (more like tongue depresses)

and I wrote down 1 activity per stick. Some of the activities are very simple like, find pictures in the clouds and others need a little more planning, do a science experiment or visit cousins.

I gave each category was it's own washi tape, and then wrapped it around the top of the sticks.

 

I also made a key for which categories corresponded with which washi tape

 

And there you have it the project is finished. I hope they enjoy all the fun things to do, and I'm looking forward to spending time doing the activities with them. I will be posting some of the projects that we do. depending on how this goes I will also try and make a 'Date Night Jar' for hubby and I (can't wait for that).

Thanks for reading and happy creating
