Create An Appreciation Jar
Materials You Will Need:
- Mason jar or small box
- Construction paper or cardstock
- Stickers, pom poms, buttons, beads, yarn, etc.
- Hot glue gun
- Pen or pencil
- Scissors
Instructions:
- Pick a friend or family member you want to show your appreciation for.
- Cut up small pieces of paper and write down words or phrases to describe what you love and admire about them.
- Grab your box or jar and begin to decorate it. You can lay down a base with construction paper and then adorn it. You might consider using colors and items that the recipient loves or that remind you of them.
- Consider what season you are building your house in. Is it present day, or possibly summertime? If you’ve already decorated for the holidays don’t forget to add the lights.
- Fill the box or jar with your folded notes and gift it to them.
Discussion Questions:
- How often do you tell your friends and family what you admire or appreciate about them?
- How often do you compliment others about what’s inside them instead of their physical appearance?
- How do you feel when someone tells you they appreciate you?
- What does the word “appreciate” mean to you?
