Here comes the glitter do do do dooo
More pictures (pretty pictures) below the cut
Here's the rest. Not shaken, individual, and lit up
So! Who wants to make some???
Good, cuz they're easy.
First off, these are properly called "sensory bottles" and are used a means to help sooth those with anxiety or on the autism spectrum (special education teacher with autism myself, hi). They are incredibly easy to make, so even younger children can make them, with adult supervision.
Materials Required:
Clear glue (I used elmers)
Clear plastic bottle (dollar store or amazon)
GLITTER
Water
Super glue (have adult assist with this if you're young pls)
Optional Materials:
Food coloring
Beads (give extra clunk clunk)
Shaped glitter (like the stars I have in these)
Steps:
Fill the bottle with some glue then water (more glue = slower settle, less glue = fast settle. My bottles above are fast settles. I prefer slow settle, glitter drifts for longer)
Add glitter (as much or as little) and optional stuff
Put super glue in lid and seal that sucker (note, if you want to see the bottle BEFORE you seal it, you may need to wipe the lid and rim off so the super glue can adhere)
Let the super glue dry for at LEAST 15 minutes then shake it up and watch the glitter!
There ya go. If anyone has questions, hit me up! These are a ton of fun and my students adored them.
(Part of me was tempted to try and make and sell, but I'm lazy and fear etsy so yee)
Also got a couple of videos of the glitter swirling, but can't post those on phone.
