Jolly Jars

WHAT IS A JOLLY JAR?

Jolly Jars are creatively decorated jars filled with a variety of fun items for children that are sold at our Lord Nelson Spring Fair for $3 each. It's a great way be creative with your kids, and have fun donating to your school PAC, and one of the most popular booths at the Fair!

How to make a jolly jar

STEP ONE
Decorate a clean MEDIUM sized jar from your recycling bin (pasta sauce jars, pickle jars, Jam jars) or canning/mason jar, using glass paints, stickers, gems, glitter, fabric, yarn, beads, tissue paper or decorative tape. The sky's the limit! You can't be too creative!

STEP TWO
Fill your jar with NEW or UNUSED objects of your choice. Be sure that your jar is filled with items worthy of the $3 price tag. For help with ideas, check out some ideas below.

Hint: the dollar store is a great place to find many fun items, or try the Japanese dollar stores such as Yoko Yaya 123 or Daiso for extra cute items such as stationary, stickers, erasers and miniature stuffies and toys. Got some leftover loot bag favours? Some excellent condition stuffies, or hordes of LEGO mini figures in great shape? That would work too!
