How to Make

Step 1

Ensure the jar is clean and dry before adding your letters; cut these from foam sheets, or why not use alphabet stickers?

Step 2

Fold and cut some small pieces of paper.

Step 3

Get the kids to write down all the things they are grateful for and then roll them up and pop them in the jar. I used different coloured pens for each note and then rolled up the papers with the writing on the outside to give a fun colourful look.
