ThanksGIVING Jar

This season I have been reflecting and thanking God for all the blessings that we have. I feel  so blessed to have the home we live in, a kitchen with food, and a closet full of clothes and so many other blessings that the Lord has blessed us with.  As a family we decided to make a giving jar.  We will collect change and fill the jar and on the second week of December we will pray as a family and see who the Lord wants us to give it to.  The kids are so excited to do this.  We have started  filling it and and can't wait to see the fruits of this fun family activity.   It is such a simple activity that teaches so much to your kids and will touch the heart of another family!

It's simple! You need a Empty Jar, mod Podge, have the kids go outside and collect some beautiful leaves and a sponge Brush

Alexis enjoyed gluing all the leaves on and it dries quickly

It's fun for the kids to see the glue go from white to clear and seeing what you have made!

You can use any jar that you have.  I have seen some made with Mason Jars or use a recyled coffee can. Really anything.  Its a fun project for the fall time and I know that the kids are going to love watching this jar get full!

Here is our finished ThanksGIVING jar! It is right we will all can see it and we started putting change in it yesterday! We are super excited!!
