4 ideas for making a sensory bottle
Sensory bottles: what are they? Inspired by Montessori pedagogy, a sensory bottle is a bottle filled with colorful accessories that helps develop children's visual and auditory senses. The goal is simple: shake the bottles to listen and watch the movements of the small objects inside.
Thanks to this activity, you can even recycle your plastic water bottles or jars. They just need to be transparent and have a screw cap.
Discover how to make a sensory bottle to stimulate your baby's senses in this tutorial, an easy and quick sensory play to make!
How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials:
To make a sensory bottle you will need:
- a water bottle
- drawing ink
- ultra-fine glitter
- large holographic star glitter
- sequins
- colored pom-poms
- opaque beads
- heart rhinestones
- colored plastic buttons
- a glue gun
Step 1:
To start, fill the bottle three-quarters full with water.
A 50cl bottle works perfectly, but it just needs to be transparent and have a screw cap.
Step 2:
To color the water, add 3 to 4 drops of drawing ink in the color of your choice.
Step 3: Example 1
For this first version, we have added ultra-fine glitter, sequins, and large holographic star-shaped glitter to the bottle.
Step 3: Example 2
This time, we only added ultra-fine glitter and heart-shaped rhinestones inside the bottle.
Step 3: Example 3
Here, we have put ultra-fine glitter and pom-poms in the bottle.
Step 3: Example 4
In this last example, we added colorful beads and buttons inside the bottle.
Step 4:
To seal the bottle, apply glue with a glue gun on the threading and then quickly screw the cap back on.
This way, the child will not be able to open the bottle.
Step 5:
All you have to do now is let the child shake and squeeze the bottle in every direction!
