All of the ideas are fantastic!

Do you have any friends with babies who are eating store-bought baby food? I've recycled baby food jars and filled with candies, then decorated the outside by wrapping a narrow strip of printed paper around the jar and then adding a tag or punched circle to the top of the lid. (hint: This would be a fabulous RECYCLED project too!! See Scrapper's Portfolio??).

Below is a link to a blog post where I decorated one of these baby food jars and filled with candy. You could get really fancy with a flower on the lid, or keep it simple. The problem is finding that many jars!! (my son mostly ate home-made baby food, but we would use the store-bought when we traveled and kept some on-hand to keep in the diaper bag in case we needed something when we were out but didn't have access to the fresh stuff - I saved every one of those jars just knowing I'd eventually have a use for them!).

here's my blog post: http://jentapler.blogspot.com/2010/0...september.html

Whatever you decide, be sure to come back and show us pics!!
