Description

A magical, glowing jar that captures the mystery of a thundercloud bursting with rainbow light — perfect for sensory play or a glowing night display!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 clear glass or plastic jar with a lid
  • 1/2 cup clear glue
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon glow-in-the-dark paint or glow powder
  • Liquid food coloring (rainbow colors)
  • 1 tablespoon glitter (optional, silver or rainbow)
  • 1 teaspoon baby oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 small LED tea light (battery-operated, optional)
  • 1 spoon or craft stick for mixing

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or directly in the jar, combine the clear glue and warm water. Stir until fully blended.
  2. Stir in the glow-in-the-dark paint or powder to give the jar a glowing thundercloud effect.
  3. Drop food coloring around the inside of the jar in rainbow layers. Avoid mixing too much for a streaky cloud look.
  4. Sprinkle in glitter for a sparkling stormy vibe. Stir gently if needed.
  5. Pour in the oil slowly to create swirling movement and separate the colors for a cascading rainbow storm.
  6. Place a small LED tea light underneath or behind the jar to enhance the glow at night.
  7. Close the lid tightly. Shake gently and turn in different directions to watch your thundercloud rainbow swirl and glow.

Notes

  • Charge the Glow: Leave the jar in sunlight or under a lamp to charge the glow effect.
  • Night Light: Use as a gentle night light for calming bedtime visuals.
  • Lid Safety: Seal the lid with hot glue if using around small children.
