Beach in a Bottle

Even on a rainy day, you can have the beach at your fingertips. This is a fun project, but it can get a little messy. Use Bounty® paper towels to protect your work surface and make cleanup a breeze.

Time:
  1. 60 minutes or less

Age Group:
  1. 5 - 8

What you'll need:
  • Bounty paper towels

  • 4 paper cups

  • Food colouring

  • Sand

  • Glass bottle

  • Jumbo sticks


Directions:
  1. Fill a paper cup halfway with sand. Add enough water to wet the sand. Next, add a few drops of food colouring and stir with a jumbo stick. Let stand.

  2. After 30 minutes, scoop the sand onto a few sheets of Bounty paper towels and let dry. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make several different colours of sand.

  3. Carefully fill a clear glass bottle with different layers of coloured sand. Angle the bottle when you pour or vary the thickness of the layers to create an attractive design.

  4. Try poking a skewer down the sides of the bottle to create a wavy design, or get creative with the shape of the bottle.

  5. Once you fill the bottle to the top, close it up and enjoy your beachside décor.
