Jar Materials

  • 1 each Empty glass or plastic jar with a lid

Solution Ingredients

  • 1 part Clear glue (white school glue works too)
  • 2 parts Warm water
  • a few drops Neon food coloring (blue, green, and other ocean-like colors)
  • optional Fine glitter (for a magical touch)
  • optional Small ocean-themed figurines (like fish or shells)
  • optional Glycerin (for slower movement of glitter)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by cleaning the jar thoroughly to ensure clarity.
  • Once dry, you can remove any labels or stickers for a clean look.

Mixing Solution

  • In a bowl, mix 1 part clear glue with 2 parts warm water.
  • Stir until well combined for a smooth texture.

Add Color and Glitter

  • Add a few drops of neon food coloring into the mixture. Adjust as needed for desired vibrancy.
  • If you choose to use glitter, sprinkle it into the mixture.

Include Figurines

  • If you want to add small ocean-themed figurines, place them into the jar for added interest.

Fill the Jar

  • Pour the mixed solution into the jar, leaving a little space at the top.
  • Tip: Use a funnel to avoid spills!

Seal the Jar

  • Securely close the lid. You can seal it with tape if you'd like to keep it extra secure.

Explore and Enjoy

  • Shake gently to watch the colors and glitter swirl. Relax and enjoy the calming effect!

Notes

Glycerin slows down glitter movement, and you can customize colors or add decorative elements like sand or pebbles for different themes.
