There you go, you now have dozens and dozens of ideas to keep kids busy who don't know what to do during the holidays :-)
Just pick one at random from the jar to have fun with the kids!
These activities cost almost nothing. And your kids are busy for a good time.
Of course, you can use any jar or container you have at home. I recycled a jar I had in the kitchen.
I also hung a tag on the jar to make it look pretty.
Do you have other ideas for keeping the children busy during the holidays? Share them with us in the comments. We can't wait to read you!
