Love Potion Jars

A great craft for your preschooler

By Karen Brody and Scholastic Parent & Child magazine February 10, 2011
  • Small jars
  • Red and pink candy
  • Felt and rickrack
  • Paper doilies
  • Tacky glue and glitter glue

Steps:

  • Fill a jar with candy.
  • Cut out a white piece of felt to fit the side of the jar. Then cut a heart out of the red felt. Glue the white piece onto the jar, and then glue the heart on top. Decorate with glitter glue and allow to dry.
  • Cut a piece of red felt out to fit the jar lid and glue it on. Glue a piece of rickrack around the edge of the jar lid and allow to dry.
  • Place a doily over the mouth of the jar and screw the lid on top.

 

TIP: Try filling the jars with colored sand, beads, glitter, or ribbon instead of candy.
