ACTIVITY JAR FOR KIDS -- PLUS SHARED PRINTABLE

I decided to come up with something different in our home for my kids. Yes, I homeschool but there are somedays when we do not have a field trip, playdate or anything else scheduled other than homeschool. We do have playtime but I wanted to come up with something with activities we do not do on a regular basis. So I created an "Activity Jar". This jar has several activities listed on individual small pieces of paper. For the days we are home and our schooling is done I will rotate my 3 older children to have a turn to pull an activity out of the jar. These are activities that we normally do not do all the time. What's in our jar?

Hide N' Seek

Play-Doh

Moon Sand

Bendaroo's

Build a fort inside our home

Pudding painting

Lite Brite

Crayola Color Explosion Dome

Nature Walk

Outside Scavenger Hunt

Rice Bin

Board Games

We can add to this jar as I come up with new and creative for play.

I made our jar out of an old Jelly Belly candy container. I made a label for the outside and then taped it to the container. For the paper pieces inside the jar that I wrote the activities on I made to share with you! You can print them off  HERE.

What would you include in your activity jar if you made one? Share by leaving a comment!
