                                       Make your own Calm Bottles!

Calm bottles are very easy (and fun) to make and give your child something soothing to look at when they are sad, frustrated or just have too much energy! 

Supplies: Voss Water Bottle, Mason Jar, or any other smooth bottle, Clear Elmers Glue, Glitter Glue, Glitter, Hot Glue Gun, and Warm Water. 
1. Fill bottle half way with warm water
2. Pour in clear glue- the more glue, the slower the glitter will move (this is a good thing!)
3. Add glitter
4. Pour more water into the bottle- it should be filled 3/4 of the way to the top
5. Seal the lid closed with a hot glue gun
6. Shake and take slow deep breaths as you watch the glitter fall gracefully to the bottom.

Here are two more links for different types of calm bottles to try making:

What makes you WONDERful? 
“We’re all Wonders” reminds us that everyone is a wonder in his or her own way. Draw a picture of some of the things that make you special! Maybe you have a special talent for drawing, or you’re a great singer, or you help your parents at home. What makes you a wonder?
