Sensory bottles are mesmerizing and fun! Here's our most recent collection at Harmony's House.
1. Golden sun- add one bottle of gold glitter glue, a few pebbles to aid mixing, and warm water. Shake and watch the glitter swirl and move. Spring comes with more sunlight and warmer days!
2. Rainbow spots- add multiple colors of water beads, just a sprinkle of each color to water. (We left air in the top of this bottle to allow for better swirling. Instead of shaking this bottle, swirl it around like a tornado and watch the rainbow spin!) Spring brings out the colors in the world.
3. Bug safari- fill the bottle half full with rainbow rice and add a few toys insects. (We used small bug erasers.) Shake up the rice, roll the bottle around, and find the bugs! We counted four butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, and bees hiding. Springs wakens the insect life!
4. Blue skies and glitter rain- add one bottle of blue glitter glue, purple beads, chunky iridescent glitter, and water. The beads help the glitter mix better but can also be observed falling slowly through the solution. Some glitter floats up, some glitter sinks, just like water moves between the Earth and sky in the water cycle. April showers bring May flowers.
5. May flowers- trim desired silk flowers and leaves, add flat beads as you fill with flowers, and push down with a straw to pack the flowers into the bottle to reach desired fill. The beads move around the flowers with a rainstick sound, but they also look like beautiful jewels hiding in the flowers. Flowers are some of the best parts of Spring!
