My Take on the Book
If you are searching for projects to do with your children, this book has 31. The table of contents shows summer crafts, holiday crafts, storage ideas, gifts and even science experiments using Mason jars.
Looking through the activities there was a home play-dough recipe and you store the dough in the mason jar. Another idea was to make bunnies, chicks, jack o lanterns, or even Santas using a Mason jar as the head, acrylic paint to color, and adding felt for ears , feathers, google eyes etc. to complete the jar. You could fill them with holiday candy or use for storage.
Decoupage was another interesting use for the Mason Jar. Take photos and adhere them to the jar, then use the jar for a vase or storage.
So many easy to make crafts with easy to locate materials.
