Summer Boredom Jar

I have seen this idea before and finally got around to making one. Though I'm using it more as a Summer Activity Jar. We plan to pull one activity out each day through the summer (except the week of VBS and the week my daughter is at summer camp). And my kids are huge fans of Phineas and Ferb so I used the common line from Phineas to decorate the front, just made it in Publisher and printed it out. Glued paper to a mason jar (widemouth), added some fun ribbons and voila! Below is a list of ideas I used. I added in a few chores just to keep it interesting. ;)
