Mini Ocean Bottles – Fill the bottle halfway up with vegetable oil. Then finish filling the bottle with water. We suggest adding a few drops of food coloring to make it blue. When you shake the bottle slowly back and forth, it will simulate a wave, as the oil and water will not mix. You can even add a small plastic sea creature for added fun. 2.
