The MARBLE Jar!!

We are always looking for new incentives to use with Cooper!!  He loves to challenge mom and dad!!!  So, my sister saw this idea in a magazine and has been using it with her 4 little ones and we decided to give it a try at the Tabor house!!  We got a jar, Cooper painted a monkey for decoration and we used puff paint for his name.  We also got some marbles too.  He gets to put marbles in his jar for going to bed without fussing, cleaning up his toys, doing little chores around the house, helping a friend, ect.  We decide how many marbles he gets to put in & he can also lose marbles for making bad choices!  We start with 40 marbles in a baggie & once all marbles are into the jar, we get to either go to the store to pick out a prize (which cannot be over $10), or he can choose to go get ice cream or a special date with mom or dad! 
So, here is Cooper right after he had filled his marble jar for the first time!! He was so excited to go with mommy to pick out a prize!!! Way to go Cooper!!!!
