Grandparents Gift in a Jar

Today's project was made with my children - a Christmas gift for their grandad and nanny that they (almost) made all by themselves.

It is this Gift in a Jar:

I have one jar for each grandparent and it is a very personalised jar with pictures of them that the boys have drawn and stuck around the sides.

Here are the boys hard at work drawing their pictures:

and the pictures they produced:

Inside the jar?  We have printed some questions off about their nanny and grandad for them to answer with their very own personal responses (this was a great fun exercise! :-)  )

(some of the ones for the Grandad jar - each boy used a different coloured pen)

Then they were folded into the jar with some christmassy confetti and a strip of christmassy paper was stuck around the side, and also some ribbon.  A heart gem was stuck onto the lid:

..and there you have it, two personalised presents for the grandparents that are from the children that I'm sure they will treasure.
