Wave Bottle
- Fill bottle 2/3 full with water
- Add several drops of blue food coloring to the water
- Fill the bottle to the top with mineral or baby oil
- Put a little E6000 glue inside the bottle cap rim before screwing it on
- Wrap a strip of transparent duct tape around the bottle cap and neck of the
bottle
- The mineral oil doesn't mix with the water so it looks like pretty waves when you
turn it on its side and rock it back and forth
I Spy Bottle
- Fill bottle 2/3 full with colored rice
- Drop in some small items -- fabric shapes, small buttons, tiles, alphabet letters,
foam shapes, small beads, etc.
- Put a little E6000 glue inside the bottle cap rim before screwing it on
- Wrap a strip of transparent duct tape around the bottle cap and neck of the
bottle
- As the child turns the bottle or shakes it, new items will appear. "What do you
see?"
Beach Bottle
- Fill bottle 2/3 full of sand
- Drop in some small sea shells (plastic or real)
- Put a little E6000 glue inside the bottle cap rim before screwing it on

bottle
Magnet Bottle

- Add pins, paper clips, magnetic chips and marbles, and small metallic objects to
the salt and shake
- Put a little E6000 glue inside the bottle cap rim before screwing it on
- Wrap a strip of transparent duct tape around the bottle cap and neck of the
bottle
- Let the children put a small magnet or magnetic wand on the side of the bottle

Glitter Bottle

glitter
- Put a little E6000 glue inside the bottle cap rim before screwing it on
- Wrap a strip of transparent duct tape around the bottle cap and neck of the
bottle
- The corn syrup will make the glitter fall slowly and sparkle on its way down
- To make it better, add a couple of drops of food coloring for a brighter bottle
- You can also include sequins and small, light beads for added effects...and to
teach children about physics, as each item will fall differently
