Jars: are they the perfect containers or...

Andrew & Polly
About this episode

Salt and Sage's Amy Dickens -- who has at least 110 jars -- talks about sharing food and jar mishaps. Plus, food science and scaring away micropes with Harry Rosenblum and Hannah Fordin from the Time for Lunch podcast. And we start a jar band. Obviously.

Can you guess how many jellybeans are in Polly’s giant 1-gallon jar? Give it a try! Comment with your kiddo's guess by following us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or TikTok.

Thanks to Anika, Liv Rala, and Aarys (who made the art for this episode!) for sharing what they know about jars. If your child wants to share what they know on the show (or just say hello) visit earsnacks.org. Ear Snacks is a free interactive experience for families centered around kids’ voices and ideas. If you believe in this show, consider becoming a supporter for as little as $2/month on Patreon or Apple Podcasts - and thanks!
