Once again, I'm linking up with Tara at
4th Grade Frolics, for Monday Made It. I have to say, I think this week's
Pinterest inspired creation is my favorite so far. Last year, I had a handful of kiddos who needed a little extra TLC in the behavior department, if you know what I mean. With that in mind as I go into the new school year, I decided that we could all use a little more zen in our lives this year. When I saw these cool time-out bottles on Pinterest, I knew I had to make a few for my classroom. So, without further ado, here is my made-it for the week:

These fabulous time-out bottles were super simple to make! I just filled up the bottles 3/4 of the way with hot tap water. I then added a bottle of colored glitter glue and a small container of ultra fine glitter to each bottle. The customization came next, compliments of clear gel glue. I added the glue to slow down the speed at which the glitter falls. Once I got everything just right, the caps were super glued on and the project was complete! I don't know how much easier they could have been to make.
I figure regardless of what grade you teach or how fast-paced things are in the classroom, there is no doubt that somebody will need a little re-grouping at some point in time. I don't have an exact plan for the bottles yet, but I know when the time comes, I'll be glad I made them. If nothing else, I can always use them for a little personal time-out when the going gets tough.
