Hi! Just wondering, with the added glue, does that mean the bottle cannot be reused? (sensory items switched out later)
Hi Jiovanna,
I always reuse my bottles. :) I strain the materials then toss it. Rinse the bottle with warm water and soap. Hope that helps! :)
Thanks for this great idea. Do you mind sharing where to get those bottles?
Hi Jenny! I purchased the bottles at Michael’s but they are also on Amazon.
