John's been on vacation this week; we were supposed to go to the beach, but he has been sick, so it's been a stay-cation. Suffice to say, we've been making a lot of fun toys with an extra pair of hands around. Stay tuned for details on all of the projects below (and more!)

| Halloween in a bottle! |
Inspired by this post, I decided to make Z a Halloween Sensory Bottle. I didn't have a fancy water bottle, and couldn't find those tiny spiders at any stores nearby, so I used what I had. I think it turned out pretty well!
Supplies:
Water bottle- empty
Baby oil (so that the "webs" and halloween bits float slowly)
White yarn, cut into short lengths
Halloween confetti
Clear packing tape
Into a dry bottle, add your confetti and yarn. Fill with baby oil (Alert! This will use almost an entire bottle of baby oil, just so you know.). Seal. The original author glues the bottle shut with super glue, but I used tape (since that's what we had). I think it will stay closed just fine, but this activity should probably be supervised. Shake it up! Let your kid shake it up! Be mesmerized by the things floating around. :)
I think next time, I will add a bit of glitter- because who doesn't like glitter?
