My mother-in-law recently emptied a pickle jar.  A TWO QUART pickle jar!  I don't know how she got it, or how she used them up, but I have it.  I almost shudder with excitement about this.  What can we do with it?

We could make an activity jar.

Or, maybe a good deeds jar.

We could just collect coins.

Or, nature materials, like rocks and such.

We could make one of these.

We could put scripture slips into it.

We could put slips of boredom-killers.

Above all, I think it should be something that will engage the kids, make them think and have fun at the same time.
