"Keep it Simple, Sweetie" with Craft - Calming bottle

This is an awesome idea and my kids love them. They are calming bottles. When your child gets angry they shake their bottle as hard as they can, as angry as they feel. They then have to sit and watch the bottle calm down. They have to sit until the bottle is totally calm. My kids made their own bottles and added all sorts of plastic beads and colours. They took real ownership over them  and they really work to calm them down.

Ingredients:

A plastic bottle (see-through)

An assortment of plastic beads

Some glitter glue

Some glitter

Method:

Pour a little bit of water out of the bottle

 Add the glitter glue. We added a couple of colours because we only had little tubes.

 Add the glitter.

Add some plastic stars and beads, or an other plastic thing you like.

 Shake like a crazy person. As you can see I choose a very cute crazy person.

 Everything gets mixed up.

 Then it starts to settle, just like we feel when we are angry.

 And now the bottle is calm.

 Make sure the bottle is very tight so little hands can't open it. You can glue gun the top if you like but I actually thought this was a bit of a waste of time.
Have fun. xx
