BFG Dream Jar

Roald Dahl day on Monday 13th September 2021 celebrates Roald Dahl, the most popular storyteller and loved by kids across the world.   The Big Friendly Giant has been a real favourite in our house and I’ve enjoyed reading the book as much as my son.

My son made his at school and it was lovely to see the excited faces of all his classmates as they emerged clutching their jar at the end of the school day.

You will need:

  • Empty glass jar with lid (e.g. an old jam jar)
  • Cotton wool
  • Glitter
  • Food colouring
  • Water

How to make a BFG Dream Jar:

  • Fill the jar loosely with cotton wool.
  • Top up with water.
  • Add in some glitter.
  • Add in a few drops of food colouring until you get the depth of colour you are looking for.
  • Screw on the lid tightly and give the mixture a shake at this point to ensure the food colouring is mixed through.  Add a little more if needed.

Why not make a few different dream jars of different colours and line them up on your shelves.
