Fun Play Jar

This is a fun idea for the school holidays, or even as a gift idea for kids. The idea is to make a fun play jar to take anywhere! There’s hours of fun inside the jars.

These Play Jars I made cost me about $20.

These are great for:

• Birthday Parties – make smaller ones for party favours or do up one as a gift
• Easter Egg hunt – hide paper clues inside plastic eggs (each egg leading to the next) and hide fun play jars at the end.
• Travel – throw in a bag and there’s hours of fun to be had!
• School holidays
• Camping – when you don’t want to take loads of toys

Fun ideas to include in a Play Jar

• Plastic jar or bag
• Key ring

• Travel-size games: cards, dice, knuckles, jacks, bounce ball, naughts & crosses
• Erasers
• Drawing items
• Note book or single colouring in pages (printed off)
• Stickers
