Tornado In A Bottle Craft

FRAZZLED NANNY here with a new craft. Two of my daughters have made Tornadoes in a bottle and they loved them. I hope your children will enjoy them as well. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 1. A clear, empty soda bottle with the lid (cap). Any size will work but these directions are for a 16 oz bottle so you may find some minor adjustments are needed for larger bottles. 2. 2 drops of clear dish liquid detergent. 3. 1 teaspoon of glitter. 4. Water. DIRECTIONS: 1. Fill the clear soda bottle with water; leaving about a half inch to an inch from the top. 2. Add the two drops of dish liquid and the glitter. 3. Put the lid (cap) on tightly. 4. Holding the bottle by the neck, rotate your wrist several times. When you stop rotating your wrist, a mini-tornado will form inside the bottle. VARIATIONS: 1. Use blue food coloring to make your tornado look more like it is in the sky. Add it the same time as the glitter. 2. If you are artistic, use a permanent marker or paint (make sure it will stick to plastic) and draw or paint a scene on the bottle ~ a landscape would really look cool! Now enjoy! Your children will love this fun craft. It's a great rainy day project or a project when your children are bored.
