How to Make a Sensory Bottle
Help your kids explore their fine motor skills while making a fun, easy craft!
Start by gathering the necessary supplies:
-small water bottle
-baby oil
-glitter
-beads
-Orbeez
-pom poms
-any other fun, colorful items you want to add in!
-super glue
-craft tape
-funnel
Once your materials are ready, pour out half of the bottle of water and fill the remainder with baby oil. Then, the fun begins!
Let your child choose which items they want to add to their bottle, and let them get hands-on in the process. This is a great sensory experience for them! To add to the educational experience, you can ask them to name the colors they see, or count as they place items into their bottle.
Tip: Using a funnel can make it a lot easier - and less messy - to get smaller craft items into the bottle!
Not done yet! Before the bottle shaking begins, make sure to glue the inside of the water bottle cap before screwing it onto the bottle so it will be as secure as possible. Then, wrap the craft tape around the cap to add an extra layer of protection - and more fun colors!
If you want extra protection, you can glue the outside as well
When finished, your bottle might look something like this! Time to start shaking and watch your sensory bottle come to life!
