Materials
- Recycled jars
- Table salt
- Food coloring (Tip: Liquid food coloring gel will create more vibrant colors)
- Resealable bags
- Funnel and/or plastic spoons
- Paint (optional)
Directions
- Clean the recycled jars removing any label residue.
- Pour 1 cup of salt into a resealable bag.
- Add a little bit of food coloring. Seal and shake the bag to distribute the color throughout the salt. Add more coloring if you’d like a darker, more vibrant color. However, don’t add too much or it will make the salt wet and clumpy.
- Using a funnel and/or plastic spoons, start filling the jars with different colors.
- Keep filling the jars to the top. (Some salt may settle, so it is best to fill to the top. If this happens, more salt can be added the next day once it has settled.)
- Place the lid onto the jar and enjoy your creation! (Optional: Paint the lid of each jar.)
