Big Pine Potions Club - Calming Jars

A calming jar (also called calm-down jar, mind jar, glitter jar, and calm bottle) is a simple, effective sensory tool that can be used to redirect attention, encourage reflection, and effect a sense of calm. It is a clear jar or bottle filled with water and sparkling materials, such as glitter or mica powder, that swirl when the container is shaken. To use a calming jar, pick it up, shake it, and watch the sparkles move through the water as they settle - like a snowglobe, but with more glitter. Part mindfulness, part art activity!

We have all the materials necessary materials, so join us on Tuesday, June 3rd at 3pm to get mixing!
