What are Sensory Bottles?

Sensory bottles are containers that are filled with various materials as a way to encourage non-messy sensory play. Sensory

bottles can come in all shapes, sizes and materials.

Although sensory play is often referred to and thought to be “messy play”, it does not always have to be. Sensory bottles allow

children to use their senses to make sense of their world.

The most obvious benefit of sensory bottles would be their direct connection to sensory play. Sensory play is a hands on way to

expose children to the world around them and allow their brains to make important connection. Sensory bottles address a wide

range of skills and concepts and can be adapted to meet the needs of the children using them.

Sensory Bottles can be great for all ages. Older children can even take part in creating them.
