Snowflake Glitter Calm Down Jar for Kids

This is a tried and true, mom tested, kid approved craft that never gets old. I remember making glitter bottles or calm down jars, as we call them around here, with my grandmother. For this glitter jar, we’ll be crafting up a snowflake jar with confetti snowflakes. We are Arizonians and this might just be the only snow my children see this winter. The jar only requires a handful of ingredients, including Johnson’s® Baby Oil, to create the fun snowfall effect. We used a glass mason jar for this craft, but you can use a plastic bottle for younger children. Also, feel free to try different food coloring, glitter and confetti. You could also try adding in beads, pom poms or tiny rubber bands. Your child will have a blast creating their own unique glitter bottle. Happy crafting!
