Sensory glitter jar ✨
Here’s how to create a sensory glitter jar – a calming, sparkly activity that can help you slow down, focus, and feel more relaxed. Watch the glitter swirl around, take some slow breaths, and notice how your mind starts to settle as the glitter settles too.
✅ You will need:
- A clear plastic bottle or jar with a tight lid
- Warm water
- Glitter glue (1-2 tubes)
- Glitter (you can get biodegradable glitter)
- A drop of food coloring
🥣 What to do:
1️⃣ Fill your plastic bottle about 3/4 full with warm (not boiling) water.
2️⃣ Squeeze in the glitter glue (this helps slow down how fast the glitter falls).
3️⃣ Shake well to dissolve the glue, then add glitter and food coloring.
4️⃣ Top off with warm water, apply strong glue or tape to the lid threads, and seal tightly. Shake and watch!
💡 Why it works:
This activity encourages you to slow down and focus on what you’re doing. Using your hands to create something and watching the glitter settle afterwards can help calm your mind, bring your attention back to the present moment, and give your brain a break from any worries.
