Sensory Bottle

I grew up playing with glitter wands. They would float gently towards the bottom end just to be flipped back over and glide back. Well, I found a cheap way to make my own version of this toy with clearance items from the craft store and up-cycling a pop bottle. Plus, it took 10 minuets to do and Monkey had fun picking out which goodies went in.


Supplies
 1 empty, cleaned bottle
 water
 confettie
 small, plastic beads
 strips of ribbon
 pom-poms
 glue

Step 1
 Cut small strips of ribbon

Step 2
 Set out supplies for toddler to place in bottle






Step 3
 Once all the goodies are in the bottle, fill with water and glue on the cap. Make sure to twist it tight and give about five minuets to dry.

Step 4
 Play! Shake, flip or roll the bottle. Watch the goodies float around and enjoy!




 These are super fun and so easy. They are great to have on hand and can be made in any empty bottle with a lid. Try adding glitter or food color to the water for more fun.
