This was a project that I did with a class of special ed. students. The little knob turns to the right to catch the candy and then you have to turn it back for it to fall through. The jars we used were tomato sauce jars and the center of the tops were cut out

Edit: So as suggested, I posted some new pictures. In 2 of them you can see how the candy will fall through and catches in the middle layer. Cheers!

Neat idea. Great job on the construction. You need to rotate your picture though.

Very nice that you are working with Special Needs students . I think that I would have washed the jar before filling it and taking its picture though : ) Maybe you can take some more pictures of it with the sunlight shining onto the wooden part of your project while holding the camera horizontally , redD. Have a great weekend !

Jess, this is a pretty neat project and working with these children is a wonderful idea for which you are to be commended.

Thanks for sharing this.
