Sensory Bottles

Sensory bottles for babies or toddlers

You need plenty of pet bottles to make sensory bottles. These bottles should be small in size so that they can be grasped comfortably by tiny hands and not too heavy after stuff stuffed into them. Fill the bottles with materials of the different colors, sizes and shapes. You can get some more interesting views by putting some water into some bottles. Remove the plastic labels and make sure that the bottles caps are too tightly closed. Then spread the game carpet and place these bottles side by side. Allow your baby for take the bottles one by one, shake it, examine its contents.

Appropriate age:

You can start from the moment your baby can grasp objects (usually 3 months).
