Sensory Bottles



I made these a while ago for Tiny when she was about 8 months old so I could distract her when she got her nappy changed. Now she is 1 year old she is picking them up to look at them but I have definitely made the mistake of making them in too big a bottle. I can tell as she only holds them for a short while, her interest is there but she drops them because they're too heavy. They are fun to make so I'm going to start again but use smaller bottles. Add sequins, pom poms, Lego pieces then add half water and half glycerine. The glycerine makes the pieces fall through the water slower. And Abracadabra!
