This was all the baby oil I had left in my bottle so ours ended up being a little less than half full. Just keep adding drops and mixing until you get a good indigo colour for the night sky.Īdd enough baby oil to fill half the bottle. I lost count of the drops, but it was somewhere around 8 drops of purple food colouring and 5 drops of blue food colouring. I used purple food colouring (from the Neon set of liquid food colouring) and regular blue food colouring for the colour. Other than the date stamp near the top, the bottle was perfectly clean! I peeled off the label and used Goo Gone to get rid of the residue. They didn’t have any ridges, which is perfect for a sensory bottle! Sorry guys, I didn’t realize I photographed the french side until afterwards! But if you’re looking for the same bottle, it was carbonated iced tea by Fruit 2 O. I was walking up and down the aisles hunting for the perfect bottle, and these did the trick! I live in Canada, so all of our products have English and French labels on them. I found these bottles of iced tea at Walmart. It’s usually in the cosmetic or baby section, and it’s way cheaper than at a regular store. If you need to buy a new bottle, check the dollar store. So if it looks a little bit ancient, that’s why. ![]() I’ve had this bottle of baby oil since my oldest daughter was born more than 6 years ago. The full printable instructions are at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you’ll need: (I tried to retrain them to say “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy” this morning, but it didn’t work. It really helps with the my-kids-keep-saying-Mommy-Mommy-Mommy-Mommy anxiety I’ve been getting lately. I know these are supposed to be for the kids, but I’ve been putting our galaxy in a bottle next to my bed at night, and then bringing it with me when I drink my coffee in the morning, just so I can relax, watching the beautiful movement inside the bottle. So when everything was settling, the balls of oil would “pop” and the glitter pops along with it, almost making it look like fireworks! Pretty incredible! It takes some vigorous shaking to get the glitter and oil to completely mix together, so he wasn’t strong enough for that, but he still enjoyed swooshing the glitter and watching the bubbles going back and forth and up and down.Īnd another added bonus? You know how when you mix together oil and water, you get those beautiful bead like balls that form in between the two layers? Well, the glitter seemed to stick to those oil bubbles. He has about a 15 second attention span right now, but he held our galaxy bottle in his hands, and loved shaking it up and down and watching the glitter move. I wasn’t a believer until that moment!Īnd then at dinner, our 18 month old was getting fussy in his high chair while the rest of us finished our dinners. But then I shook up the bottle, handed it to her, and she started staring at it and immediately stopped crying. Everyone talks about how great they are for calming children and I was shocked that it’s actually true! My 4 year old hurt herself and was crying (she may or may not have dropped this galaxy bottle on her foot… oops!), and she was starting to scream in pain. This is the first time I’ve made a sensory bottle and I think I’m hooked. I’ve been carrying the bottle around for a few days now, shaking it up like a crazy person, and then staring at the amazing galaxy in it as it settles. It was pretty cool! Not to mention that it was also totally gorgeous! And peaceful. Are you ready for it? We made an ANTI-GRAVITY galaxy in a bottle!!! That’s right, the glitter doesn’t fall down, it actually rises up as it settles. ![]()
