• clean empty plastic bottle • water • food coloring
• small beads • craft foam • scissors • waterproof glue (hot glue works well) • rhinestones • clay • wire (an old hanger works well) • wire cutters (ask an adult for help)

1. Fill the bottle with clear water. Dissolve a small amount of food coloring in the water.
   
   
2. Add about a capful of small beads to the water.
   
   
3. Cut a cloud shape from the craft foam.
   
   
4. Have an adult cut a piece of wire about as long as the bottle is tall. Glue your craft foam shapes to the wire with waterproof glue.
   
   
5. Fill the top of the bottle with clay. Push the end of the wire into the clay.
   
   
6. Put the cap on the bottle. Glue rhinestones around the bottle cap.
   
   
7. Hang your Geshem Globe in a sukkah, or display it in a sunny window. Watch the light reflect the color of the water. Shake your Geshem Globe and watch the beads move.
