The best part is that the ideas are color coded. Once you decide how much time you have for family fun ask a family member to draw a card in that color!
Keep all the ideas handy in a mason jar. Even the label is included for the front of the jar! You will always be ready with the perfect idea for fun family activities.
How to Make a Family Fun Activity Jar
Print the activity cards and list in color on white cardstock. Print the circle labels on a solid sheet of label paper.
Cut out the labels for the jar. A three-inch circle punch (affiliate link) works perfectly.
Cut out all the activity ideas and place them in a wide mouth mason jar. Stick the Family Fun label on the side of the jar and the instruction label on the top of the jar. The color-coded key can be stuck on the back of the jar or inside on the bottom of the lid.
Now you have a great family activity jar!
