The boys have been busy getting ready for the holiday season, as we all have been. Today's project was popcorn jars. I love this project because it is simple, economical & a great gift that the boys can make themselves. Our list has grown this year and I felt like the kitchen was a little factory at one point, but the boys enjoyed it all & since I didn't have time to make dinner, it became a pizza night (all the better in their eyes).
For this project we just needed a jar, a sticky label (for the front that the boys could decorate), some popcorn & then our secret ingredient (just kidding), a ziploc bag & cinnamon & sugar. We mix some cinnamon & sugar together but it in the ziploc bag & then put it in the top of the jar. This way when the receiver opens his or her gift then can have a sweet treat (the only trick is to add the cinnamon & sugar mixture when the popcorn is HOT!
This was a great project to work on measuring, stirring & pouring. It also gives the boys a great sense of accomplishment to realize that they made this, all by themselves.
