Here is a fun craft you can make with your child that is also a toy! With only a few materials you can easily create a sensory bottle. Today, we're creating a 4th of July themed bottle.
| Materials: - clean, empty plastic bottle - red, white, and yellow pipe cleaners - blue food coloring - hot glue/superglue - sparkly confetti |  |
| Directions: 1. Cut the pipe cleaners in half and/or thirds to get varying lengths. |  |
| 2. Twist the pipe cleaners around your finger to create a spiral. |  |
| 3. Put the twisted pipe cleaners and confetti into the bottle. |  |  |
| 4. Fill the bottle with water. |  |
| 5. Add one drop of blue food coloring to the bottle, screw on the lid and shake. |  |  |
| 6. Hot glue or super glue the lid into place. You might find it more effective to place glue on the rim before screwing the lid into place but, you will have to work quickly or the glue will dry before you get the lid on. |  |
You can have your children help put the items into the bottle to make it a group activity and you can make all sorts of different types of sensory bottles. A great place to look for items is the dollar store. It just needs to be small enough to fit into the mouth of your bottle and it will work! We hope you enjoy this cheap and easy craft!
