How to make your own Glitter Calm Jar

Sharing a little piece of magic with you!

The Glitter or “Calming Jar” is great for calming children in a yoga class as well as at home.  Children often experience a great range of emotions but are still developing in their regulatory skills. This is where calm jars come in. Filled with glitter, these jars help to “Shake out” the initial anger or frustration. There is then the effect of watching the glitter flow which instils this focus and inner calm.

What you will need:

·      A plastic water bottle with a twisting top.

·      1-2 Tablespoons of Clear Glue (Bostik Clear glue works well)

·      3-4 Tablespoons of glitter. Various colours work well.

·      Warm Water

·      Food Colouring (Optional)

You will start by filling the jar with warm water.

Leave some space in the bottle so you can shake it. Add the other ingredients, adding more if needed.

Screw the lid on and shake until it all mixes.
