This galaxy jar activity turns an ordinary clear container into a colorful, swirling display inspired by deep space. It’s a hands-on project for children and families that uses cotton balls, tinted water, and glitter to create a fun, decorative effect.

Ingredients

  • Clear glass jar or bottle
  • Cotton balls
  • Food coloring in blue, purple, and black
  • Water
  • Glitter
  • Small star stickers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the first layer of cotton balls.
  2. Tint the water.
  3. Saturate the cotton balls.
  4. Build the next layer.
  5. Add glitter.
  6. Decorate the outside, if you like.
  7. Seal the container.
  8. Create the swirling effect.

Notes

A finished galaxy jar can brighten a bedroom shelf, a playroom, or a desk. It also makes a personal handmade gift. The activity is best enjoyed with an adult nearby, since glass containers can break.
