Gifts in a Jar Projects to do with the Kids!

Here is a fun little project you can do with the kids. These projects are a fun learning experience for the kiddos too. You can incorporate math and reading with the recipes and art and fine motor skills with the decorating of the jars. The kids will be having so much fun they won't even know they are learning :-) They make a fun party favour or gift too!

I took these recipes from the book, Gifts in a Jar for Kids. The book has recipes and then little gift tags you can use for the gift jars. Not only is it fun to fill the jars with goodies, but you can also have a lot of fun decorating the jars too! If you have some extra fabric laying about, just cut 9" diameter circles and then use ribbon, raffia, yarn, or whatnot to hold it in place.

The recipes from the book are good for up to 6 months, but they never last that long in our house. You could take advantage of the "extra" time you and the kids have during the summer and make a few gifts ahead of time for the holidays!!

The first recipe I would like to share is for Play Dough Mix. This is an awesome one to use as a party favour or gift for a child's birthday.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
2 T cream of tartar
2 pkgs of Kool-aid (leave in packaging)

Directions:

Layer the ingredients in the order given into a 1 Quart wide-mouth canning jar. Pack each layer in place before adding the next ingredient. Attach a gift tag with the mixing directions.

Mixing Directions:

1 jar Play dough Mix
2 Cups water
2 T. baby oil
p
Remove Kool-Aid packages from jar. Mix water, baby oil and Kool-Aid together in a large microwave safe container. Add Play dough Mix and stir until its well blended. Microwave on high for a total of approximately 4 -5 minutes, stopping every 30 to 45 seconds to stir. Continue to microwave and stir until a ball forms. After the play dough is cool enough to touch, you are ready to play!

Another fun recipe for the summer is their Sand Art Cookie Mix. You can have a lot of fun decorating this jar with some raffia and shells you gathered from any beach trips you took over the summer :-)

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 Cup M & M's
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 1/4 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 Cup crisp rice cereal
1/2 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Layer the ingredients in the order given into a wide-mouth 1 quart canning jar. Pack each layer in place before adding the next ingredient. Attach a gift tag with the mixing and baking directions.

Mixing and Baking Directions:
(makes 1 1/2 to 2 dozen)

1 jar Sand Art cookie Mix
1/2 Cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and egg. Add the Sand Art Cookie Mix. Stir until the mixture is well blended. Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

You can find this book, Gifts in a Jar For Kids, at Amazon for just $9.00.

Have fun :-)

Fun and Easy Upcycling Project to do with the Kids

Last week I wrote up a post on the new Terracycle Brigades and added some coupon links for you to get started. These Brigades are incredible. Through them, TerraCycle and its sponsors help schools or other community groups raise money for a charitable organization of the collector’s choice, which can include your child's school. Participation is free and all shipping costs are paid. To date, over 1.8 million units of waste have been diverted from landfill. Plus TerraCycle and its sponsors paid over $800,000 dollars to over 50,000 schools or non-profits. To see the full range of items TerraCycle collects and pays for, visit www.terracycle.net.

Emily of Terracycle shared a really cool upcycling DIY which Kara of Ramblings of a Marine Wife did a post on you can do with your kidlets. Here is Kara's idea on how to take some of your own trash to make a wallet:

Food Wrapper Wallet

(click here for full template)

Materials:
1 clean, empty food package (at least 7 inches by 5 1/2 inches in size)
1 ruler
1 pen
1 pair of scissors
tape
1 self-adhesive Velcro fastener

Directions:
1. Cut a rectangle that is 7 inches by 5 1/2 inches in the package. Centered inside the rectangle, draw a smaller rectangle that is 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches. This smaller rectangle will be 1 1/2 inches from each edge.

2. From the top edge of the smaller rectangle, draw a semicircle that intersects with the top of the large rectangle and the corners of the small rectangle. Repeat for the other three sides. Cut around these lines.

3. Fold in all four semicircles so your cut piece folds up to the size of the small rectangle. Tape the bottom flap and two side flaps in place.

4. Attach one side of the Velcro fastener on the inside of the top flap. Fold down the flap so the other side of the Velcro attaches to the outside of the bottom flap.

If you'd like to join or start your own TerraCycle Brigade, go to www.terracycle.net.

Creative and Colourful Activity!

When my guys were little we would spend hours turning our fingerprints into really cool creations with the help of Ed Emberly's Books ($6.99 for above picture book) and some colourful (and washable) ink pads. Amazon has a 4-for-3 promotion going on right now, and Ed Emberly has many adorable books with all sorts of ideas for fingerprint creations to choose from. Take a look at Ed Emberly's Picture Pie - a book filled with ideas for basic shape "works of art". Using scissors and cutting shapes helps little ones with their fine motor skills, but they'll be too busy having fun to realize they are "working" on their dexterity and hand eye coordination.

Amazon.com has a some goodies on sale right that will help your little ones create colourful works of art with fingerprints and stamps -

Melissa and Doug Washable Rainbow Stamp Kit

$6.31 (norm. $9.99)

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Happy Handle Stamp Kit
$6.29 (norm. $9.99)

Melissa and Doug Friendship Stamp Kit
$6.49 (norm. $9.99)

have fun :-)
