What Are Sensory Bottles?

DIY sensory bottles like this one are fun and easy to make! Some other names for sensory bottles include calm down sensory bottles, calm down jars, and discovery bottles!

Simply put, a sensory bottle is a bottle that when turned or shaken stimulates the senses. Sensory bottles are also known as calm down bottles because the slow, gentle movement of the contents can be mesmerizing and soothing for an upset child.

To create a sensory bottle you need liquid and a filler!

  • Liquid: A combination of water and another liquid such as clear glue, glitter glue, hair gel, oil, or corn syrup make the base of a sensory bottle. Food coloring can be added to the liquid to create a colorful sensory bottle!
  • Filler: Fillers like glitter, confetti, sequin, beads, or small toys are added to the liquid in a sensory bottle.

Sensory bottles are not only great for sensory development, but they are also wonderful for strengthening fine motor skills! Children will love this winter sensory bottle idea!

If you are planning on adding glitter or toys to your bottle, add some of them in. (Adding some snowflake shaped toys or glitter can make this into a snowstorm sensory bottle!)

Place the lid onto the sensory bottle and shake the bottle to mix the glitter, toys, glue, and water.

If the glitter and toys move too quickly, add in more clear glue. If the glitter and toys move too slowly, add in more warm water.

Continue to add toys, glitter, water, and glue in small amounts until you have achieved your desired consistency of liquid and amount of toys and glitter in your bottle.

Leave a small amount of space at the top so your liquid does not overflow.

Once you are happy with the way your sensory bottle looks, glue the top on to seal it.

You can cover the lid with winter theme duct tape, or decorate it however you would like!
