How to make a family adventure jar
Download the printable family adventure activities and the family adventure bucket list. Print in color on white cardstock. Print the family adventure list on a solid sheet of label paper. If you can’t find label paper, print on regular copy paper and use a glue stick to attach to the jar.
- download —>Family Adventure Activities (print on cardstock)
- download —>Family Adventure Bucket List (print on cardstock)
- download —>Family Adventure Labels (print on label paper)
Cut the activities into strips and also cut out the labels.
Grab a pint canning jar and paint the lid if you like. We used an enamel acrylic paint found at craft stores. Place the instruction label on the lid.
Place the activities in the jar and you are ready for adventure!
The activities are color coded so you can direct your child to choose an activity for the amount of time you have. Place the key on the back of the jar or include it inside as a reminder:
- Yellow | 1 – 2 hours
- Red | 3 – 4 hours
- Blue | 5 – 6 hours
- Green | weekend or overnight
First up for my family was to go wall climbing just like Spider-Man.
We had a blast. Clearly, our next adventure will be to set a physical challenge so mom can get up the wall. I loved the opportunity for our kids to see us trying new things.
We placed our Family Adventure Bucket List on our refrigerator and are ready for our next challenge!
And ready to spend more special times together!
This little jar is filled with the potential to build a stronger family that knows the power of teamwork, cooperation and has the power to make a difference in their world.
Everything you say and do creates an impact!
