Earth Day Sensory Bottle Craft
Supplies Needed:
1 (16 ounce) plastic storage/sensory bottle (available at Michaels or similar but smaller bottles here)
2 to 3 (6 ounce) bottles Elmer’s Glue in clear
About 1 cup warm water
About 1 tablespoon glitter or confetti (if desired)
Toys (if desired)
For this project, we used Earth marbles
Note: Earth bouncy balls could also be used as long as they will fit through the opening of the bottle. For marbles, use more glue and less water.
How to make this fun Earth Day Sensory Bottle:
1. Empty one bottle of glue into the bottle.
2. Fill the empty glue bottle about half full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well to combine the remaining glue with the water. Pour into jar with glue and shake or stir to combine.
3. If you are adding glitter or toys, add part of the glitter and toys into the glue mixture.
4. Seal the jar and shake well. If the glitter or confetti does not move easily, add more warm water. If the glitter or confetti moves too quickly, add additional glue. Continue adding in layers with the glitter and toys until you achieve your desired effect.
5. When the contents of the bottle move according to your preference, seal the bottle and glue the lid closed to avoid spills.
6. If desired, cover the lid with duct tape or additional decorations.
