OT Activity of the Day:
Halloween Sensory Bottles
Target Age Range: 2 and up
Disclaimer: Yes, VOSS bottles would’ve worked better, however, I had some leftover regular water bottles and decided to put them to good use. While tough to see in the photo, you can see Halloween items and glitter in real life!
Today we made a Halloween sensory bottle. This is a great activity to work on the pincher grasp in your young child (they have to pick up the glitter to put in the bottle as well as all the tiny toys) and works well as a sensory/calming bottle for when our kiddos need a moment to calm themselves down.
To fill our sensory bottle we used mostly water and then some clear hand soap. While I recognize that hand soap may be a hot commodity these days, if you have some to spare, make a sensory bottle! We also used toys and items of varying weights so that they fell at different speeds.
