This is a fun hands on cheap and easy craft to do with your kids and it is useful after you make it (we love crafts that are useful!)!! It's an "I Spy" bottle.
First of all here are the items you will need:
1 empty clean DRY plastic bottle
a bag of cheap white uncooked rice
funnel
large bowl
small items from around the house that will fit inside the bottle mouth (use 10-15 items)
glitter (optional)
hot glue gun
a 6" strip of ribbon
paper to list the items on
hole punch
Empty the rice into a large bowl. Have your child hold the clean/dry bottle over the bowl and fill the bottle with several scoops of rice using the funnel.
Add in 3 of your items - make sure to keep a list of the items. And if you use several of the same items make sure you write down colors.
Add a few more scoops of rice.
Add in several more of your trinkets.
Add in glitter (optional) - the glitter just gives it a fun look! We call it the magical dust. :)
Keep layering, making sure to keep a list of all the items you put into the bottle.
Only fill the bottle to the neck so that there is plenty of room to shake.
Once your bottle is filled and complete, squeeze glue from your hot glue gun around the mouth of the bottle and quickly screw on the lid tightly. Go ahead and tie ribbon around covering the overlapping glue.
Cut out a rectangular piece of paper and type or handwrite the items inside and enjoy finding all the goodies!!!
