These “I Spy” jars are great fun for a wide variety of ages.  A must for the diaper bag.  My infant likes using the jar as a rattle, and our toddler and pre-schoolers enjoy identifying and counting the objects they find.

What you will need:

• Charms
• Silica Pellets or Rice
• Clear Containers
• Glue Gun

I purchased some of my charms from this Etsy seller, the others I had laying around the house.  Pick 15-30 charms to put into your container, fill 3/4 the way full with the silica or rice.  Seal the container closed with the glue gun and viola!  You have an “I Spy” jar.   If you are really industrious you can make a list of things that each jar contains so you can prompt your kids and help them search.  I hope your jars entertain your kids as much as ours have!
