Patriotic Sensory Bottles For Kids

Please Share!

I have seen so many sensory bottles on Pinterest and always wondered what they actually were. What do sensory bottles do? What are sensory bottles??? I had to dig a bit deeper to find out.

Sensory bottles are simply often referred to as ‘calm bottles‘. They are supposed to help calm a child (or adult!) down simply by looking at them. They help to calm you down when you watch and focus on the items inside the sensory bottle such as glitter. Sensory bottles have been known to help calm a child down when they are having a meltdown or anxiety attack. They totally work for adults too!
