These are our job jars. I made them with a mason jar and decorated paper. I have also seen them done with a soup can that is cleaned out. The sticks were made with tongue depressors. You can find these at Roberts, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or in many craft sections of stores. {Click on the links for 40% off coupons! Michaels are traditionally in the Sunday paper.}
I know which jobs the kids have finished when they turn the colored end upside down. My kids know they have to have all the colors down by the end of the day or sooner if they want to play with friends. The kids sticks vary by age, obviously, but they all have a "give mom a hug". Personally, it's my favorite!

I made these same jars last summer for my kids and they are fantastic. They work like a charm.
I love this idea. I'm always looking for ideas to keep the girls motivated. Your blog is so cool, almost makes me want to clip coupons. -Carrie
