How to Make a Motivation Station & GIVEAWAY

This post brought to you by the Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club.

Do you struggle to keep your smaller humans motivated to finish schoolwork? Whether you're a school teacher, a homeschooling parent or a mom who needs to motivate her kids to hit behavioral milestones, I have a great project for you! Create a "Motivation Station" in a corner of your home or classroom to reward kids for hitting learning or behavior targets.

I found this project on the Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club website - they have so many great ideas this month for fun back to school projects so definitely check them out. They share new projects, recipes, and tips each month – plus membership is free!

Supplies

• Large empty glass jar
• Chalkboard stickers
• Letter stickers
• Crinkle paper
• Treats to fill jar

Directions

Step 1: Make a label

Use the chalkboard sticker as a background to apply the letter stickers to. Be aware when you buy the stickers that you'll need two packages to have the full alphabet. I used a combo of red and blue and spell "Super Job!" (see what I did there?)

Step 2: Apply

Stick your label on your jar. Easy.

Step 3: Fill

Fill your jar with treats that your target audience will love. In my case, my four year old, superhero obsessed son gets to pick from a variety of great Dollar Tree swag like Captain America and Spiderman pencils, glow sticks, stickers and crayons. To help boost up the smaller items, I placed the tall items in the jar first and then added the crinkle paper in red, white and blue before adding smaller items like crayons and pencils.

If you have a classroom of kids to please, build an even bigger station! Use multiple jars (or glass containers from Dollar Tree) to assemble a collection of things any kid in your class is sure to love. Of course, all kinds of inexpensive rewards from pencils to hair ties, glow sticks and stickers can be found at your local Dollar Tree!
