Summer Activity Jars

We're halfway through the summer but there is still time to do some fun activities with your kids and family. Thanks to The Crafting Chicks, here is a fun way to choose what to do for the rest of your summer.


Instructions:
Get 3 mason jars and label them "Activities & Games", "Let's Eat!", and "Oh, the Places We'll Go!"

- "Activities & Games" = Fun things to do such as jump on the trampoline, play freeze tag, go on a scavenger hunt or make giant bubbles.
- "Let's Eat!" = Ideas for delicious treats or anything having to do with food! Cupcakes, fruit kebabs or a fondue party are some ideas.
- "Oh, the Places We'll Go!" = Going out to local parks, museums, or hikes.
