How to make mad scientist jars

Materials and tools:

old glass jars
black spray paint
metallic wax finishes
Rubber or plastic toys and insects, doll heads.
water and food coloring
Measuring cup
the stirring rod
labels
ink pad
twine or rope
scissors

Steps:

1. Wash jars and lids well. Spray the lids on and once dry, apply metallic wax finishes for an aged look.

2. Fill a measuring cup with water. Add a drop of food coloring and stir. Add more food coloring or more water to get the intensity of color you want.

3. Put a toy or ornament in the jar and fill it with water. Screw the cap on tightly.

4. Using the labels, write a label for each jar. To age labels, gently tap or rub them on an ink pad.

5. Tie the labels on the jars with string.
