Well, here it is, my very own fail.  Two jars of foggy water with glitter and the ingredients I was supposed to use:

 

The original pin sounded so easy!  Empty jar + hot water + clear glue + glitter + food coloring = "calming jar" for when the kiddos need a time out.  There was an option to use glitter glue instead.  For version 1 I used a plastic jar (wound-up kids and glass? no thanks!) and the glitter glue.  Foggy mess.  Not to be deterred, I attempted with a glass jar, clear glue and actual glitter.  The result was slightly better, but the glitter dropped like a rock.  I don't know about your kids, but when wound up, mine take more than 2 seconds to chill out.
