First, I make colored salt projects. Using sidewalk chalk I have the kids color the salt, then pour them into the jars making rainbows and pretty designs. The only 2 rules are: never shake the jar and add some extra salt a few days later to make up for the compaction of the layers. The second project is taking paper tape/masking and having the kids tear off around inch pieces and put them on the glass. They overlap them and when it's covered, put shoe polish on and rub. It gives the appearance of leather. I use the glass jars of interesting shapes for a few different projects. First, I make colored salt projects.
