![]() I added more clear gel glue to make it go slower or more water to make it settle faster. ![]() I kept playing with the mixture until the glitter settled at about 5 min. ![]() Next I filled each bottle with about 3/4 (* edit 5-3-12, I used hot water so that the glue “melted” better… room temp or cold will cause it to stay separate) water, an entire bottle of glitter glue and a small tube of ultra fine glitter. I removed the label with goo gone (it was very sticky under that label) So I found a water bottle (Smart water was the brand) that was totally smooth and not too big around for little hands to hold. Well, I did not like that it was a glass jar (she is three, and who gives a three-year-old glass?). Genius! So I didn’t have to watch the clock or set a timer, and it would calm my Bella. Then I saw on Pinterest that some moms were using it as a timer for time out also. I loved the idea of getting Bella to focus on something else and relax. The original ones I saw were to teach children to meditate (not my goal). You shake it and the glitter settles slowly as you watch you relax. This was a mason jar filled with water, clear gel glue and ultra fine glitter. Finally I saw something called a mind jar. ![]() This was getting worse and worse until I told my husband, “there has to be a better way, I’m going to research this.” So I went online and read other mom’s advice, dr’s advice, psychologist’s advice, etc. When time out time comes for bad behaviour I find myself with a little girl on the bottom step screaming, kicking walls and not able to even calm down enough to learn her lesson. Probably not the only one in history, but one of my current dilemmas. Sooooo… I have a three-year-old little girl who is full of drama. ![]()
