Paper Bottles
You will need:
-a bottle
-different color paper or cardstock
-scissors
Cut the paper up into squares and put them into the bottle. Glue the cap on so little ones can’t get to the inner contents. DONE. For added interest, you could glue pictures of family or friends onto some of the squares.
Glitter Water Bottles
You will need:
-a bottle
-tap water
-a few drops of whatever color food dye
-glitter (I got mine at the reuse store! Along with the sand for the bottle below.)
Put water glitter and dye into the bottle. Shake. Glue the cap on on. DONE. (I added a little too much dye. I tend to overdo things.)
Sand Bottles
You will need:
-a bottle
-a few small toys that will fit into the mouth of the bottle (I had some just lying around.)
-sand. colored or not. art grade or natural. doesn’t really matter. as long as it is dry.
Put sand and toys into the bottle. Glue the cap on. DONE.
Total Spent on all 3 bottles: $0.90
These are interesting. I think my two year old tyrant would use these as a weapon to bop her big sister on the head!
Sounds like a very simple, frugal project. It leaves a lot of room to get creative with different designs too.
Love these! So perfect for kids/babies. The sand one is great! Thanks for posting 🙂
Gotta love a cheap kid project
Great pics of these. Never heard of them but I think this is a neat kids art project.
great post honey, you are an artist!
have a nice day!

This looks awesome, love the sand idea!!!!!!
This is so great! I love these fun bottle-making projects. This would be great to teach to young school children.
Babies love these! Don’t buy your kids expensive toys anymore, people!
Nice! These look like an extremely messy project to make with my toddlers =)
Haha I don’t know about my skills as a photographer or artist, but kids do love these! Especially babies through toddlers. I make them myself, but I guess you could turn it into an art project with the little ones. 🙂
Hi there! I’m your newest follower on twitter, found you from the post you left my my blog Call Me PMc. I love your blog!
Hi, Paula! Thanks so much! I totally pinned those chocolate PB bars…I found you via the Pinning! Link up. 🙂 Looking forward to being bloggy friends!
so cute! are these for little kids I’m assuming?? what a great idea- and cheap, cheap, cheap!
These look awesome. A couple close friends are having babies this year. I am definitely going to make them some of these.
Love this concept. I’m going to pass this along to a teacher friend who will definitely appreciate this!
