Jar Prompts!

Have fun with these themed prompts to print out, cut up, and place inside a recycled spaghetti sauce jar or coffee can (not provided).  A fun alternative is to create "Creative Bone" prompts for your jars by collecting smooth sticks ("bones") from the yard--watch out for oleander or other poisonous plants! Write your prompts along one end of each stick--then place in a jar. Pull out a prompt for daily or weekly for inspirations to last up to a year!
