Directions:
  1. Start by adding clear tacky glue to a wide mouth plastic bottle. See picture above for example.
  2. Next, add some glitter and small objects to the bottle.
  3. Then add hot water to the bottle but don’t fill it all the way up. Leave some space to determine whether you want to add more glitter or small objects.
  4. Once satisfied, fill the remainder of the bottle with water. Add the top and give it vigorous shake.
  5. If you’re happy with the results, let the bottle sit (uncapped) until the contents reach room temperature.
  6. Finally, add a dab of hot glue around the inside of the cap and seal the bottle. Your child can now enjoy playing with their Valentine’s Day sensory bottle.
