These gifts in a jar are a fun family activity or get together with your homeschool group.
Mix together the seasonings first. You want them on the bottom so as to not have them floating through the beans looking weird. Once you have them on the bottom, layer the beans in a pattern of your choosing. It’s not really important how the beans go in but be sure to put solid layer in so as to make a pattern. Place a bay leaf in the top, seal the top, then attach the printable tag. Voila! 5 Bean Soup Gift In A Jar!
