Creative development and knowledge and understanding of the world
Resources
* Small plastic bottles * sequins * glitter * glycerine * Sellotape * pasta * lentils * confetti * food colouring * water
Step by step
* Gather small water and soft drinks bottles holding up to 500ml.
* Let the children select a bottle, remove the labels and rinse out their bottle with warm water.
* Support the children so that they fill the bottles full with tap water.
* Allow the children to add sequins and glitter to their bottles.
* Add some glycerine (available from chemists) to the children's bottles to change the consistency of the mixture. This prevents the sequins and glitter all falling straight to the bottom of the bottles.
