Father's Day Gift Freebie

In a couple of weeks it's Father Day and I thought we would get a head start on our gifts.

I started with plain jars I picked up at the Dollar Store.

I found ones that had a large flat top. 

 I printed out the labels and had the children cut them out.

I have a sticker machine and it is fabulous for running the labels through.  They come out sticky on the back and are then easy to adhere to the jar.  If you don't have a sticker machine, you can use regular glue.

We used some Core vocabulary to talk about what we doing as we went along.   Here we were talking about putting the nuts in the jar.  This communication board is available for free on the Minspeak website.

After we added the nuts, the children added their names to the top of the jar.

Father's Day Freebie

I know it's probably a bit late for this Father's Day but maybe you can put aside this little freebie for next year.  Now that report cards and IEP's are handed in (we still have 2 weeks of school left) I might actually have some time to blog.

I got these cute little jars from The Dollar Store.  They are the perfect size for the kids to fill.

I used my sticker machine to put the labels on the jar.  It's so easy to use.  If you don't have a sticker machine, just click on the picture below to grab one.  You can also use Podge, glue or tape to put the labels on the jars.

The children tried a few methods to put the peanuts in the jars.  Pouring them in, they found, was not the best method, as the peanuts ended up all over the table.  It was fun to try though.
