I found these cute plastic jars!
Safe and nicely decorated!
Well that just sceamed I Spy Jars to me!
Then I grabbed all the little things I could put inside!
Gotta have some of the glitter pom poms & glitter!
So all of this and a tad more went into each jar!
Remember not to over fill with the styrofoam balls or it's too hard to see the items inside.
This can be done with coloured rice - plastic beads - or any other fill!
Don't forget to glue the lid shut with hot glue or thick white glue!
This is a great idea. Thinking I'll modify it a bit and hide the sight words or ABC's in a jar/bottle filled with Christmas things (tinsel, etc.) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...to add to it, I think Im going to take a picture of everything I put in there and make it into a laminated card so the kids will see what they are looking for.
ReplyDeleteBoth awesome ideas! Thanks for adding those extension ideas! Post a picture when you are done so we can see!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this! It looks like such fun - and those jars were an absolute find.
ReplyDeleteThanks Naxi - They were a great surprise find - I was thrilled when I saw them because I didn't have good plastic jars in my stash!

Oh how fun! I've considered making I Spy jars before, but never got around to it. I'm headed to the Dollar Tree this afternoon--perhaps I'll find some fun stuff for one!

Great idea. Now I need to find those balls. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWelcome and glad you like the jars!
ReplyDeleteWe made "regular" I spy bottles this year...but Christmas ones are an awesome idea!!! Would you please share this with our readers for Fun Stuff Fridays? http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2011/12/fun-stuff-fridays-2.html
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I keep meaning to make some sort of I Spy activity for my kiddos but I just never get around to it. Do you tell them what to look for or do they just find the items on their own?
ReplyDeleteI used to add a list and even photo lists with my I Spy Jars - but I find the kids just like to be surprised!It seems to be more fun when they simply 'discover' what's inside!

Caterina - I live in Canada we don't have Dollar Tree but we have a store similar I would guess - it's called Dollarama - that is where I got this stuff!
