Teacher Tip - Salt Shakers For Glitter!!!!

Have you seen something on the web and been like - Why haven’t I ever thought of this? That was my exact reaction when I saw this hack for glitter. I definitely think that glitter can enhance a project, but let’s be honest, kids do not know how to use glitter in moderation. Whenever we are getting ready to work on some kind of craft project I have an internal debate on whether or not to bring out the glitter. If I do, I resign myself to the fact that I am going to have traces of glitter on myself and belongings for at least the next week. Putting glitter in salt shakers is such an amazing idea. It’s the same concept that is applied to the colored sugar used when baking cookies! Salt shakers are also inexpensive! You can find them at the Dollar Store. So don’t be afraid to get your glitter on.

I have zero faith in my school district to keep me safe. This information is from the product description on the website
