These are just a few different kinds of Sensory bottle ideas make your own variations.
Make sure to ALWAYS seal your bottles securely! I cannot emphasize this enough. Unless you want your bottle opened and the contents poured out. SEAL IT… with glue. Duct tape can be peeled off by a determined kiddo. Glue is much harder for them to open up.

Wow, so many great ideas. I love them all! Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday! I hope you are having a wonderful week!
I can’t believe I never thought to use gatorade bottles! Genius!
I think you have a wonderful list of bottles. I wanted to ask about the swirling shaving cream bottle though. Is it a one time activity or can it be reapeated several times with the same bottle?
Yes! It just keeps on going it never completely combines it always separates so you just swirl it about a bit to see the cool swirling effect over and over again!
What a bunch of wonderful ideas! These would be so fun for a playgroup! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! There are so many fabulous ideas in this post!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank youuuuuuuu!! First time visiting but won’t be the last! Discovered this page thru Pinterest. I have a home daycare and am always in a quest to find new science projects that are safe for my 2 year old to do. These are definitively on our To-Do list!!
Wow! What a fabulous set of sensory bottle ideas! I’m pinning this too! I’m so glad you shared it on Teach Me Tuesday!!

Holy Smoke…I don’t think I have ever seen such an exstensive list of anything. My goodness Thank You for a never ending list of sensory bottles! Now all I need to do is garner up a few cases of Gatorade!!!
Hi!
What great ideas! I can’t wait to make these. I only suggest to be more specific with the amount of ingredients. For example….for the Alphabet bottle how much corn syrup…etc?
Thanks again!

Love these! What kind of stand did you use to store your sensory bottles on??
That a fantastic collection of discovery bottles! I’m pinning them if you don’t mind.
Please do!
I desperately want to make the color mixing bottle for my son. I’m trying to do the second method, but the powdered tempera just won’t mix in with the oil. It always separates out, and then mixes with the water if I add it. What am I missing?
I am sorry I am not sure it worked with mine. Ummm, try the first method? I don’t have any other ideas.
Thanks for the ideas! I use a lot of these recently to make my son a set. I found some perfect bottles when I bought my son some milk at a fast food place. The bottles are small, clear, don’t have ridges or bumps on the sides, and are a thicker plastic. (Wendy’s, DQ, and Arby’s had them but McDonalds didn’t).
Patience is the key on that one!
I thought the shaving cream one didn’t work-it was just foamy, but I’d already sealed it so I put it in with the rest. A few days later I looked at it again, and the shaving cream had dissolved more and made the nice pearly swirls you described.
We many simple density columns with my 2-4 year olds. They used just vegetable oil and colored water and then added rocks, coins, google eyes, and foam pieces and predicted what would happen. The really cool detail, though – standard pony beads have a density right between water and canola oil, so they sat just at that interface. It was really neat to watch the beads find their place, though the kids of course did not understand how fortuitous it is to find something with such a precise density.
I am a pre-kindergarten teacher and I make sensory bottles for my class. I like to use Sobe Life Water bottles. I found that they are very substantial and withstand the abuse of 14, four year olds. I tried the shaving cream bottle and holy cow, it’s awesome. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful sensory bottle ideas. I look forward to trying the rain bottle next
Thank you so much for sharing these awesome bottle ideas. I’m in the process of producing several right now for our preschool!

i love the glow in the dark the best
You have put your heart into this magical sensory creation and my preschool will engage with these ideas for a long time. I will add a container filled with bottles and small objects that they can make as well. Our preschool used long tubes from Tap Plastics with caps that you can seal . The long tube shapes make exploration even more fun and the objects can be bigger. thanks so much for sharing this!
