Colourful
Sandy Bottles
What you will
need:
· Sand
· Newspaper
· Wax paper
· Coloured chalk (as many different colours as you like)
· Clear glass or plastic bottles
· Stick or pencil
· White glue or bottle cap
· Cutting board
How to make it:
1. Cover the work surface
with newspaper.
2. Place a sheet of wax paper on a cutting board.
3. Place some sand on the wax paper. Roll a piece of coloured chalk
across the sand until the sand is completely changed to that colour.
4. Carefully lift the wax paper and gently shake the sand to the
centre of the paper. Hold both ends of the paper up to use it as
a pouring spout to pour the sand into the bottle. You can use a
funnel if you find it easier.
5. Use a stick or pencil to make a few dips in the sand.
6. Repeat these steps until you have several colours of sand layered
in your bottle.
7. If you have a cap for your bottle, be sure to fill it completely
with sand and press down firmly on the sand to compact it. Place
the cap on tight. If you do not have a bottle cap, fill sand to
about 1 cm from the top of the, compact the sand with a pencil or
finger and then fill to the top with glue and let it dry.
