Calming Jars with Clear Glue and Glitter

 

Clean  Water Bottles (take off the label)

Washable Clear Glue

Water

Bowl

Whisk

Glitter

Food Coloring if you wish

 

The recipe calls for 20% Glue and 80% Water (can use hot water I used room temperature)

 

I used:

50% Washable Clear Glue, 50% water, and as much glitter as desired.

 

Make it: Pour clear glue and water into the mixing bowl, add glitter (and you can also add food coloring). Now mix with the whisk. When everything is blended, mix vigorously then pour right away into the water bottle. 

 

Put the lid on and shake to make sure your calming jar is working.  If your bottle isn’t quite right, play around with the ratios of glue and water (you can try using hot water too). After your bottle is just the way you like it you can put the lid back on. For extra security you can seal it with super glue. If you used hot water make sure it has cooled before you put the lid on.

 

Make sure to clean your bowl right away

Gratitude Jars

 

Needed Items:

​

1 jar/box

​

Ribbon or other decorations such as stickers

​

Paper - I like using colorful paper but any             paper is perfect

​

Pen, pencil or crayons

 

Making the Jars:

 

Decorate your jar by tying ribbon around it,           writing on it, placing stickers on it, etc.

   

Using small pieces of paper, write down one         thing you're grateful for on each. Fold and             place in your jar. Sometimes it’s the simple         things that make life wonderful: the beautiful       sunrise,  flowers in your garden, getting pizza     for dinner, laughing with a friend,  the smile         from a stranger, or quiet time with your                 family.

 

Have fun realizing all the things big and small to be grateful for while building your immune system!
