In our house, I try to keep everything really organized. I have no choice, really, with three young children. If everything does not have a place, consider it missing. I have organization bins, buckets, and folders all over and it just works for us! Recently, I really started to step up or collection of Box Tops for Education for my son’s school. With the Bonus Box Tops, I knew I could really help make a difference – especially by asking family members to also clip the Box Tops. If you are going to use the products, and so is our family, it’s easy to ask people to just clip it!
To make it easy to store and collect our Box Tops (when we go to Grandma’s house), I create this easy jar! It’s simple to make! Start with a standard mason jar and choose a piece of fabric or paper you like. I used a thicker decorative paper. I cut it into a circle that I could fit and trim.
Find the center and cut a hole big enough to fit your box tops into. I like to measure based on the large bonus size to make sure I can fit both. Next, simply place your fabric over the top of the jar. You can either glue it on, or as I did, use twine to tightly secure it on. This ensures you can reuse the jar if you want. All that is left to do is to collect!
Now, when our jar is filled, we take it into our school lobby, empty it into the collection bin and take our jar home again to fill. It’s a great activity to do with kids and they enjoy it!
