🌈 DIY Calm Jar (a.k.a. Calm-Down Glitter Bottle)
A soothing visual tool that helps kids:
✔️ regulate emotions
✔️ take a sensory break
✔️ focus during transitions
✔️ relax after overstimulation
✔️ practice calming strategies
What You Need:
• A clear plastic bottle
• Warm water
• Clear glue or glitter glue
• Fine glitter
• Food coloring (optional)
• Super glue (to seal the lid)
How to Make It:
Fill the bottle ¾ with warm water.
Add clear glue to thicken the mixture (this slows the glitter movement).
Add a few shakes of glitter — choose your child’s favorite colors!
Add one drop of food coloring if desired.
Seal the lid tightly (super glue for safety).
Shake and watch the magic settle. ✨
