This Calm Down Sensory Bottle is so simple to make and amazed my kids for hours! We have been excited to make a sensory bottle and wanted to give it our own twist so we decided to add giant water beads and the results were so amazing!

HOW TO MAKE A CALM DOWN SENSORY BOTTLE:
- To make this super cool sensory bottle start by filling a plastic Voss water bottle about 85% full of warm water.
- Then add a bottle of clear Elmer’s glue.
- Next add glitter (we used white and silver) and food coloring (optional) if you want the water to be colored.
- Add the water beads (we used 3 giant water beads).
- Seal with super glue or hot glue.
After one day, the beads grew quite a bit but still sank to the bottom when shaken. Then we checked back after four days when the beads were fully grown and we noticed they rose to the top! Isn’t this bottle mesmerizing? 😍 And check out how we used this bottle in a fun toddler activity here.
