Galaxy Jars

 

Your kids will love making these and they are cool to look at.

You might have to find your supplies on Amazon or eBay.

I don't know if Walmart has everything you need.

Supply list:

16oz mason jar (as many as you want to do)

tempera paint (at least 2 colors)

cotton balls

fine glitter

water

Create your galaxy jar:

Fill 1/3 of the jar with water to begin. Add several drops

of acrylic tempera paint to the water. Put the lid on your

mason jar and shake to mix the paint and water.

Now add a bit of fine glitter to the solution. Stretch out

and elongate your cotton balls, adding them to the water

until the bottom is filled with cotton, pressing them down

into the water with a stick or a knife.

Fill another 1/3 of the jar with water and add several drops

of contrasting tempera paint. Place the lid on the jar again and shake.

Add a bit more glitter, do your cotton balls again.

Fill the final 1/3 of the jar with water and repeat all the steps.
