Discovery bottles

Sometime between my kids and my grandkids discovery bottles came along. From what I've read and heard they are pretty neat and kids like them, so I made a few. I've made three out of baby oil and colored water in the primary colors supposed to be like the waves of the ocean. I made four out of Karo Surup with glitter and buttons that floated gently up and down when you turned the bottle. I made one out of rice with the little "treasures" in it, so when it's shaken things rise to the surface of the rice. Nick played with the rice one once and Cooper likes to throw them on the floor but no one really showed an interest no matter what I did. One day Nick found one of the empty bottles I use and filled it pompoms then discovered he could not get the pompoms out. Ta da they like to fill the bottles with pompoms especially Ryan.

The boys were eager to go on a field trip!
