Well that was awesome! I saw this idea on pinterest, of course! Just search for mind jar and you will find lots of "recipes"! Here is the one we used:
http://chasingthefirefly.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/free-your-mind/. It worked great! For 3 colors of glitter glue and one 6 pack of loose glitter at Walmart, it was about $7. Plus the pack of pint sized jars were $10. So basically, it wasn't the cheapest craft for us to do, but I wanted to do it! The mess is contained!! Most people probably have glitter lying around and mason jars anyway, so it could be a free craft. Anyway, Raleigh loved squeezing the glitter glue, sprinkling the extra glitter in, pouring the water and finally shaking them up! It's the first "craft" we've done in a long time, and if I find more like (easy, cheap-ish, mess contained, not just a throw-away) then i'll do more. Today i'm just giving myself a pat on the back for trying something new and having fun with my boy! Have a great day!!

That is so cool! I want to put some of my pinterest ideas to work. I love it!
Huh, interesting to use glitter glue too. it doesn't clump at all? is the glitter glue there to "slow down" the glitter?
when i was nanny here in switzerland last year i made glitter snow globs with the girls, and that was fun. which reminds me, i never took a picture of it.
What an adorable little boy!! Cute pictures!
