The Calm Down Jar or as Reese calls it.....The Feelings Jar!!!

We were on a roll today in our house! This is another Pinterest special which involves glitter glue, a jar, hot water and some more glitter. The theory is that kids use it like a snow globe when they're upset and then they stare at it while the glitter settles to try and help themselves calm down. We made it for fun but Reese was quite serious about the whole thing and had to sit and practice her yoga breathing while alternating between watching it and closing her eyes. Its fun to play with either way!

Here is the link to the instructions for it.

And for the record if your kid is REALLY throwing a tantrum and/or they have a knack for hurling things while upset then this isn't the time to be giving them a calm down jar ;) Reese says she's going to use it if she's sad or angry or "frustwated"

She's showing you how to yoga breathe in the top picture!! hahaha
