Homemade sensory bottles are one of my favorite toys for babies and toddlers. They give young children access to exploring all sorts of interesting materials that would normally be off limits.
Sensory bottles are really quick and easy to make, and they can be used for all sorts of different things. In our home, we have used sensory bottles for everything from games of I-Spy and working on expressive language to a calm down jar to help little kids with big emotions.

Sensory play is a favorite around here and now by using sensory bottles even the youngest of kids can join in on the fun!
