Akshaya Tritiya reminds us that good things – kindness, gratitude, and happy memories – can be never-ending too, just like the day’s name suggests. Let’s make a jar to collect them!
What You’ll Need
- A small empty jar (glass or plastic)
- Coloured paper, cut into small strips
- A pen or pencil
- Stickers, ribbon, or decorations (optional)
If you don’t have a jar or coloured paper at home, here’s a simple option for each that works well for this craft.
Steps
Step 1: Decorate your jar. Add stickers, ribbon, or a painted design to make it your own.
Step 2: Write your first note. On a strip of paper, write one thing you’re grateful for, or a kind wish for someone else.
Step 3: Fold and drop it in. Fold the strip and place it inside the jar.

Step 4: Keep adding! Every day, add a new note -a happy memory, something you’re thankful for, or a wish for a friend. Watch your jar slowly fill up, just like Akshaya Tritiya’s promise of never-ending good things.
