Step 1: Ask your little one a series of questions about their relative or friend. Sample questions are included, feel free to add questions that are personal to your family. Record the answers on paper.

Step 2: Cut the paper into strips and fold into little squares.

Step 3: Include some extra special notes, like portraits and kisses.

Step 4: Draw a picture of the special person on felt (or colored paper) and attach it to the jar. Decorate the top of the jar with additional love-inspired art and tie a ribbon around the top to contain all the love!

Sample Questions:
What is Grammy’s full name? Where does Grammy live?
