Hi! I love your box it’s perfect for my daughter! Can you tell me what is in the glass jar and how big that particular jar is? I am in love with this!!!!!
Hello there! Thanks so much! Your daughter will LOVE this!! We aren’t sure the size of that jar, but the printables in the jar are found in the kit. They are the activity ideas that you cut out! 🙂 You can probably get a good sense of the size of the jar after looking at the printables! 🙂 XOXO
These are some great ideas. Can’t wait to try a couple of these out with my niece.
Stefanie, so glad you like it! It really is such a fun kit! XO
