Calm Down Jar
Materials: Jar, Glitter Glue, Water
Instructions:Pretty simple, just fill up a jar with warm/hot water. Add a good amount of glitter glue. I used almost a full small bottle for my jar. (pictured above). Close and shake for a few minutes. If you want the jar to take more than 10 minutes to settle, just add more glitter.
Other comments: If you are using this as a replacement for a time out, I would suggest using a cool shaped water bottle vs. a glass jar. That way if the child is really upset and drop/throw it, you don't have to worry about it breaking. Also depending on your kids, you may want to hot glue the lid on! If you do not want to buy glitter glue, you can use water, clear glue, and fine glitter. However, I had a really hard time getting the consistency correct. You have to shake it a lot harder at the start and for a longer period of time. Good luck :)
