Ideas to fill a jam jar (for school)

rainmac

We are doing a jam jar tombola for DS2's preschool this year for the first time, so far I have made up 3 jars with lollies, crayons and marbles, all items found at home. I am going to obtain some more jars and do a cotton wool jar (label it as snow or something), maybe another jar of crayons as we seem to have hundreds of them and a jar of craft bits suitable for little ones.

Gross I know but how about washing a tin of beans, making an orange jelly and setting them in jam jar for a jar of 'jelly' beans....

There is a poem on here to go with a gift like that. It was for a box of hugs but would work for this if it was decorated or something?????

Thats the kind of thing I was thinking but I wasnt sure how to describe it really so thanks for that!

I did a jar of hugs for my friend -googled 'hugs' images and came up with quite a lot

I did a poem to go with it but you could adapt it if you wanted

'I bottled up a bunch of hugs
Especially for you
It's filled with the most special hugs
Only the bext would do
So any time you need one
If you're feeling sad and blue
Just open the jar, take a hug
With love from me to you;
