Snowman Water Bottle

Supplies:

  • Water bottle
  • Blue glitter
  • Clear glue
  • Red (or another color) pipe cleaner
  • Black and orange construction paper

Directions:

  1. Using an empty water bottle, pour in the clear glue.  You can use the whole bottle or just some and divide the rest among other children. The more glue you put into the bottle the slower the glitter moves inside.
  2. Now sprinkle lots of blue glitter into the water bottle.  You can use any color glitter you want or even sequins!
  3. Pour room temperature water into the bottle to fill up and twist back on the cap.
  4. Decorate your water bottle by tying on the pipe cleaner scarf, gluing on the orange carrot nose, black eyes and buttons (you could also use a black sharpie to draw on the eyes and buttons).
  5. Shake, shake, shake and watch your glitter snowman sparkle!
