Homeschool Preschool: The Jar

The Jar is just full of stuff found around my house that I thought Girlygirl could play with.  I got the idea from Guilt Free Homeschooling. Carolyn uses it as a math tool for children to do sorting. Look at her blog for ideas.  Right now Girlygirl really just plays with it at table time. I am sure it will later change as more of a teaching tool. I found a dog treat jar at the Dollar Store.

I filled it with all kinds of fun stuff. Look at the pictures and list for ideas. You  don't need to buy any thing.

In The Jar:

• fake followers
• old caps
• foam letters
• clothes pins
• pompoms
• paper clips
• an few old game pieces
• army men
• baby spoons
• small meal toys
• broken wand top

When making your jar just add things you have in the house if you don't have much to start that is fine things will show up later. I plan to add more and change ours as time goes on.
