So I thought I would try something a bit different.

Keep you on your toes.

From time to time I like to be crafty. The kids like it. It helps the planet…..recycling junk I my have just tossed. Helps keep us artsy and keep our creative juices flowing.

I have seen these several places on the web and thought they were awesome. I almost bought one at Target the other day (glad I didn’t).

I thought since summer is coming up, these would be perfect for traveling kiddos. We keep these in the car for short trips to the store or longer ones up north.

I bet you have everything you need right now.

The best part of this is, once they find everything and they get board with them….you can change out the toys. Awesome!!! Cant do that with the Target ones

Eye Spy Jars

Materials

• 1 mason jar (I used a quart sized jar) or clear bottle w/top (the wider the mouth the better)
• 1 bag (48oz) rice (any kind will do)
• Assorted toys and trinkets
• List of the toys used
• Ribbon to go around the top, to make it pretty

Directions

1. Fill jar 1/3 full of un-cooked rice.
2. Add toys and trinkets. Fill with a bit more rice, then more toys and so on. Be sure to leave at least ½ – 1 inch room at the top.
3. Put top on and shake up really good.
4. Wrap ribbon around and tie, now it looks pretty
