DIY Dinosaur Storage Jars for Kids

Happy Saturday, friends!  A lot of us who are crafty have mad crushes on mason jars.  How about you?  Do you love them?  Whether it’s for crafting or using them in our home decor — they’re functional and fabulous!  Today’s post is all about the jars, except it’s geared towards the kiddos.  Why not give them a love and appreciation for mason jars too?  Start their ‘jar crushing’ at a young age. {hee-hee}

I’m sharing a fun and super easy storage jar idea for the kids to keep their pom poms, beads, rainbow loom bands and MORE!

Supplies needed to make your own storage jar set for kids:

• 4 oz. Quilted Glass Jelly Jars
• Gorilla Glue
• Toob® Animal Figurines (I used these Dino Figurines)
• Spray Paint

Step One:  Glue the lids to the rings of each storage jar, using your Gorilla Glue.  Allow them to thoroughly dry and adhere before proceeding.

Step Two:  Grab you figurines and lids.  Be sure that your lids are clean of debris before attaching the figurines.

Step Three:  Glue figurines of choice to your lids.  Allow the figurines to dry and adhere (approximately 1-2 hours).

Step Four:  Spray paint the lids and figures with the colors of choice.  I used a glossy spray paint — and loved how they turned out!

Step Five:  Have your kiddos fill the storage jars with some of their favorite crafty goodies!

Easy peasy.  The hardest part is having to wait for all the drying and adhering to take it’s course.  Other than that — this storage jar set is a simple, colorful and functional project for you and the kiddos!  What will your kids add to their storage jar set?

Happy crafting!
