Beach in a BottleEven 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:
- 60 minutes or less
Age Group:
- 5 - 8
What you'll need:
Bounty paper towels
4 paper cups
Food colouring
Sand
Glass bottle
Jumbo sticks
Directions:
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.
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.
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.
Try poking a skewer down the sides of the bottle to create a wavy design, or get creative with the shape of the bottle.
Once you fill the bottle to the top, close it up and enjoy your beachside décor.
