Summer Fun In A Jar!

I enjoy spending time with my kids, but sometimes it's hard to come up with fun things to do on the spot. This idea is perfect for that because it takes all the thinking out of it!!! My kids are ages 2 and 4 so I adjusted the activities for their ages and for where we live.

I found this idea on The Crafting Chicks and also on Happie by Abby: The Blog.

First I typed up the activities list and rounded up a jar and scraps of cute paper and ribbon. I liked the color coding idea, so I did all of the outside activities on yellow and the inside activities on orange.

I made this fun tag using my cricut and "Candy Randy" font from my computer. You can download free fonts at www.scrapvillage.com.

Last I folded up all of the papers to place inside and tied some ribbon around the jar and stuck on my tag. This really didn't take long because I just kept it simple, but I am sure you could jazz it up a lot more if you wanted. Anyway, for now I am going to let my kids choose one yellow and one orange for the week, and see how it goes.
