Creative jars that hold loads of ideas to help you teach your kids.

Whether it's time for time out or time for learning, the jar has become a an interesting teaching tool for kids.  Recycled jars have been used to hold all kinds of things through the years. We have all used the jar to hold crafts, screws and buttons. But, unscrew that cap, wash it out and you will find a lot of other uses to recycle that jar.

Here are some of my favorite ideas for the recycled jar for kids:
