The Star Jar – Make Progress Visible, Star by Star!
The Star Jar is an evidence-based, physical reward system designed to strengthen children’s motivation, confidence, and sense of responsibility – one star at a time. With its flat, easy-to-grip design and transparent front, it’s simple and fun for kids to watch their progress grow.
It includes 25 colorful stars that the child – either independently or with adult help – places in the jar each time something positive is achieved, such as mastering potty training, helping out at home, or showing kindness to others.
🔍 Why do reward systems work – and what makes the Star Jar so effective?
Research shows that positive reinforcement is one of the most powerful ways to shape behavior in children. When a desired behavior is followed by a tangible reward – in this case, a colorful star – the likelihood of the behavior being repeated increases.
✅ Visual feedback: Children develop understanding and motivation when they can see their progress. The Star Jar makes accomplishments visible – clearly, concretely, and instantly.
✅ Autonomy and involvement: When children place the star themselves, they gain a sense of control and pride, boosting self-esteem.
✅ Taps into play: The playful format appeals to children’s natural drive to collect, sort, and fill. Doing good becomes fun!
✅ Flexible use: From potty training and screen time rules to homework and daily routines – the Star Jar works for anything worth reinforcing.
