Ocean In a Bottle

Here's an easy way to hold the ocean in your hand!




All you need is a bottle of water and some vegetable oil.  You can embellish it from there, but here's the basic "Ocean in a Bottle":


Fill your water bottle about 3/4 full of water and add a drop of blue food coloring. 
Shake that around, then add oil to the top. 
(If you want to add fish or other items to the ocean, leave extra room.)
Replace the cap securely.  When you tip the bottle upside down
and back, it will resemble to ocean waves!


You can add fish or turtle-shaped beads to the water, if you like.
Glitter will make it sparkle, too.
Or, you can add fish stickers to the outside of your ocean!


Once you have your ocean the way you want it, 
tighten the cap, then wrap it with tape to prevent spills.
