Be creative and add a ribbon to the seam of the jar and cover or paint a special message on the outside of the jar. These are inexpensive to make and are wonderful gifts for friends and family from the children. Clean up from dinner can be fun for a small child. There are many fun things a child can do that also helps them learn. Biggest to smallest is great with the stackable Tupperware.
Children are great helpers and have lots of fun sorting clothes by color and size.
Your children will love playing the match the sock game. Clean up around our house is always fun. These are perfect for the little helpers to clean their rooms and help the adults. Nothing feels better for a child than to feel needed and useful. On rainy days, I have gone to the moon, operated a grocery store and been to the doctor all without having left my house.
