Evaluation comments:
“The Star Jar arrived in a small cardboard box with a large window cutoff displaying the jar. It looks adorable and I like the muted, neutral colors. My daughter is very motivated by rewards, so I was excited to introduce this to her.”
“This little “jar” is great! It’s not a typical jar, but actually two flat pieces of acrylic with a small gap in between them that is shaped like a jar. There are 16 flat acrylic stars in a cute drawstring bag. The stars drop easily into the jar like putting coins in a piggy bank slot. There are many extras included such as a wooden stand to display the jar upright and a sticky magnet in case you want to magnetize the jar. There is also a reward chart with dry erase marker to outline your rewards and tasks. There are so many ways you can use this system.”
“The idea is that your child receives a star to place into the jar for good behavior, assigned tasks, routines, goals, etc. When the jar is full, your child earns a reward that was previously agreed upon. My daughter LOVES this concept. She loves earning rewards and loves putting the stars in the jar. We decided that she would earn a star for acts of kindness. I don’t always give the star to her right away because I don’t want her to do nice things and have the expectation that she will get a star. So sometimes I remember the kind thing she did and give her the star several hours later and then talk to her about why she’s earned it. It’s been fun!”
“My daughter has been really receptive to this reward system. She’s already a good kid who does kind things, but making her aware of her actions has been really fun.”
“I like the simplicity and effectiveness of this container.”
“From the shipping box to the product, the packaging is quality, well done and eye pleasing.”
“The star jar is small yet substantial. I love that it is made of wood, making it feel durable and high quality. The colors are chic, subtle and also gender neutral.”
“This is a great tool for positive behavior reinforcement. It has really helped inspire and redirect my toddler as well as my older kids. It is a simple concept but has been executed well, making it useable and practical. My toddler especially likes to put the star in the jar herself, which helps her appreciate her efforts.”
“I have tried various star charts, but this by far is the easiest to use and cutest to look at. I love that it comes with a magnetic backing so I have it right on my refrigerator for easy access and visibility. I have three children and the product conveniently comes with 5 stars in three different colors so each of my kids can participate.”
“This is a great product to buy your family. It can be used to assist in transitions, such as potty training, as well as day-to-day for chores and homework. I have found it convenient and worthwhile.”
