Ocean Bottle Fill the water bottle 2/3 full with water and tint it with the food colouring and add oil. Fill bottle to about 1/2 inch from the rim. Add tiny shells, glitter, or other sea-related items. Glue the bottle shut and place tape around the top to seal the bottle to prevent the oily liquid from leaking out. When you tip the bottle it will look like rolling ocean waves. |
