Glitter Globe

I haven't been updating this blog. In fact, I haven't been doing crafts with the kids. Unless you count abstract painting as craft. *laughs* This is our first craft for the year.

The family has been taking turn to fall ill since last December. Plus my kids has lots of homework from school. *pant*

I finally found time for my son to so this simple craft as he was home due to a viral fever ... again.

Try this. It takes less then 5 minutes to complete but it's endless fun ... for my daughter that is. *wink*

Oh! If you have noticed, this blog had been over-hauled! Hope you like the new look! Check out the rotating header by pressing the F5 key. *wink*


Materials needed:

  • 1 empty glass or clear plastic jar with screw cap (we used a baby food jar)
  • Different coloured Glitters
  • Various Sequins
  • Water
  • Strong glue (optional)
How to do it:
  1. Remove any label on the jar.
  2. Pour some different coloured glitters each into the jar.
  3. Pour water into the jar till 4/5 full.
  4. Put the sequins in the jar.
  5. Screw on the cap back on the jar.
  6. Glue the cap to the jar to fully secure it if you like.
  7. When the glue is dried, your child can now shake the bottle to see the glittering jar.
Note:
You can also use other light items but not those that float.
