Happy National Mason Jar Day from Lightbridge Academy! Celebrating creativity, imagination, and all the little hands that turn simple jars into magical moments! Try this fun craft at home:

“Calm & Cozy Sensory Jar”

Materials:

  • Mason jar (plastic recommended for 0–3)
  • Warm water
  • Clear glue or glitter glue
  • A little glitter
  • Optional: food coloring
  • Optional: small plastic charms (for ages 3+)

Steps:

  1. Fill the jar about ¾ full with warm water.
  2. Add a squeeze of clear glue or glitter glue (this makes the glitter float slowly).
  3. Sprinkle in a small amount of glitter.
  4. Add one tiny drop of food coloring, if you want a soft tint.
  5. (Optional for 3+): Add 1–2 small plastic charms or beads.
  6. Close the lid tightly — for younger children, secure with hot glue or tape.
  7. Shake the jar and watch the glitter swirl and slowly settle!
