This year our Jolly Jar stall will be back in action at the Country Fair. These awesome jars are often super popular and there is so much variety to choose from.

If you would like to, we would love to have some amazing jolly jars created and filled, and returned after the holidays ready for sale at the Country Fair (Saturday 31st October 2026)

This is would be a great holiday activity for the kids to do!

 

If you are thinking "What is a Jolly Jar?" ...

Jolly Jars are a jar filled with something small, fun or interesting. Kids love making them and choosing what to put inside and you can decorate the jars to make them more eye-catching if you choose. These don’t have to cost a lot of money and there are endless ideas to make up the jars but suggestions include - Hair clips, Mcdonald’s toys, LEGO, miniatures, sweets, chocolate, water balloons, marbles, crayons or pencils, loom bracelets, kids craft bits and bobs, matchbox cars, accessories, stickers, play jewellery.

The Jolly Jars are then for sale on the day of our Country Fair.

Just letting you know the fencing project is almost complete. Yay! The contractors are hoping to move the skip and the container on Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th September. Please can you avoid parking in the staff carpark on these two days to prevent your car from being damaged. Thank you for your understanding. 
I hope you all enjoy the school holidays with your children and I look forward to welcoming you back to Waitoki on Monday 12th October.
