Ocean in a Bottle Art Activity

Arts and Crafts Activity

This activity is fun for younger kids.

Materials Needed:

• small clean, clear, plastic, recycled water bottle with cap
• water
• blue food coloring (1 or 2 drops)
• small plastic ocean animals (fish, dolphin, whale, etc.) .....must be small enough to fit inside bottle
• small shells or pebbles (optional)

Directions

Remove label from bottle. Fill water bottle with other items, then tighten the cap.

I like this idea because it's a great use of recycled water bottles and all the other supplies can usually be bought at one of the dollar stores or found at the beach.
A variation is to fill the bottle with half water and half oil (baby oil or vegetable oil).

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse for a cleaner, greener Earth!
