Supplies for Valentine’s Day Sensory Bottle
- Plastic bottle with wide mouth (16 oz.)
- Glitter (pink, silver, red)
- Clear Tacky Glue (4 oz.)
- Hot water
- Small objects (plastic hearts, heart confetti, plastic lips, plastic jewels)
- Hot glue gun
Directions
- Start by adding clear tacky glue to a wide mouth plastic bottle. See picture above for example.
- Next, add some glitter and small objects to the bottle.
- 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.
- Once satisfied, fill the remainder of the bottle with water. Add the top and give it vigorous shake.
- If you’re happy with the results, let the bottle sit (uncapped) until the contents reach room temperature.
- 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.
