Calm Down Jars

I have seen quite a few variations on the Calm Down Jar/Time Out Jar/Tooth Brushing Timer on the internet lately.  What a great, inexpensive way for a parent win!

These jars (usually plastic bottles for the little ones) are filled with a simple mixture of hot water, glitter and glue.  You can use glitter glue to make them even more sparkly.  The hot water works to melt the glue so that it mixes better with the water.  You can change the viscosity so the glitter will take more or less time to settle.

Another great idea is to add a toy to the bottle to increase the level of interest.  You can add small plastic toys or shapes.  Use objects in the glitter to make the Calm Down Jar personalized for your child.

Here are a few different takes on the Calm Down Jar from the internet.
