On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave me to me...a totally easy and free advent calendar, the best Christmas movie ever made, quick gift card cozies, our Christmas tree, a sweet Christmas memory, the story behind the shoes, Mary's Lullaby, homemade Snicker bars, and a gift for the pint-sized crafter.
While trolling around on Land of Nod the other week (or was it the other day? I'm pretty much addicted), I stumbled across this fantastic idea. An art jar for kids. If you have a kid in your life like mine, they love to craft. And if you're like me, you don't love to share your craft supplies.
A fantastic idea? Yes. A fantastic price? Heck no. Since I'm
So you've got your jar (or maybe jars?) and then all you've got to do is stuff them full of fun stuff, like:
- pipe cleaners
- cool scissors
- glue
- pom pons
- googly eyes
- popsicle sticks
- buttons
- glitter (if you're brave)
- markers
- crayons
- paper
- anything else that looks like it could make a ginormous mess.
Enjoy!

I love Land of Nod - it's where I get my stocking stuffers every year. This year my favorite was this little bunny for Deano - it's the SOFTEST bunny ever and his favorite thing is to hug small stuffed animals. It's enough to melt anyone's heart. Also, Restoration Hardware has cute stuffers (and I am sure you could copy cat a TON of stuff there, too) and late in the season they get pretty cheap. Merry CHristmas!!
cool idea! yes, we love crafts. I'm not much for sharing my supplies though. We usually have extra carstock or construction paper, some crayons or colored pencils, and cheap stickers. Markers, scissors, and glue are with adult supervision only (for the 5 year old). Anyway, our stuff isn't organized, so I'll gladly use your idea to make it so. Thank you.
