Making a batch of 40 of these as a gift for my pageant sisters. I've never heard of using baby oil before! I've always seen the glue and water recipe. Very cool!
Wow that is so kind and thoughtful of you! I another option is to buy empty travel containers and add the glitter and oil to the container. I have done that when I need to make a bulk batch! I get the biggest baby oil to make a bunch of 3 ounce containers!
@@AlyssaCotten I will make a blue one because the sea always calms me down whenever I have anxiety. I also love the pink one you did though; it is really captivating!

OMG, Alyssa, my kids are past toddler timeouts but I am a huge advocate of timeouts but in the way where the kid actually calms down. The idea is to calm their emotions at that moment. The long term goal is to teach them that they can calm themselves down and that it's not worth their time to pull a temper tantrum. Anyways...I will recommend this to all my friends with toddlers. My 9yr old gets anxious during this homeschooling time and so I am going to be making one for him to use everytime we sit down to do homework. This is going to be good for the both of us! Homeschooling is hard stuff!! Thank you for this video!
Oh no, I’m so sorry it didn’t come out. Sometimes I have to use the tip of the scissors and stick it in the middle of the stopper to pull it out. I hope that helps.
I have never heard of a calming jar before. This reminds me of a snowglobe. The glitter in these looks really pretty. I think I am going to make these!
Any suggestions for getting the plug out of the bottle? I’d like to do this project with families but I’m worried that it might be a little dangerous. I tried it myself and ended up using an awl to get the plug out. Also, I discovered that if I take the plug out and don’t return it, then I couldn’t open the bottle again. Any ideas?
When I did this as a group project, I had the bottles all opened with the stopper taken out so all they had to do was add the glitter and put the stopper back in. If the scissors do not work, you can use a tiny crochet hook and scoop the stopper out. (if you make the hole too big, you can put some hot glue to plug it up) You will need to make sure the stopper goes back in so it doesn't leak. Hope this helps! excited for you to make some!
What a great idea!! I definitely like the 'time out' option for kids. But I totally can relate to racing thoughts when you try to meditate. Great video!!

I love this comment! so thoughtful and I agree with you! helping kids calm down and self regulate is so key!! thank you for sharing!!
I've done this with water bottle now you showed me of another way of doing it.
The oil in the bottle allows the glitter to flow really nicely!
I tried it couldn’t get the stopper out of the bottle🙁

I am so excited to try this! I am new to mindfulness and meditation and struggle with keeping my mind clear. So glad you made this helpful video!
Wonderful! mindfulness is so great!
I've never made a calming jar before. This would be great for my daughter!
Go for it!

It’s a great at home resource for anxiety!
What is your favorite color glitter (purple, green, blue,and silver are mine)
@@haannguyen4402 I’ve done a few colors but I tend to gravitate towards the blues. Reminds me of snowflakes falling.
@@AlyssaCotten I mean the blue on Elsas dress in frozen
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
