Color Word Sensory Bottles, FREEBIE & GIVEAWAY

I LOVE sensory bottles!  They are so relaxing for kids and teachers too.  I wanted to make some new color word sensory bottles, but I wanted to add literacy.  How fun would it be to add the color word IN the bottle?  With the words inside, they could be used for so many color word & letter activities.  They are super simple to make, too!  I collected Gatorade bottles.  It has a wide mouth and is a heavier plastic.  However, any bottle will work.  I have listed the step-by-step instructions to make your own!

How to Make Color Word Sensory Bottles

Step 1:  Find objects to add to the color bottles.  I had popsicle sticks, pom poms, and beads on hand.  Just look through your art or craft supplies and see what colored objects you have on hand.

Step 2:  Find different shades of paper for each color.  I used scraps I had leftover from other projects.  I cut small rectangles and squares.  You don’t need many.

Step 3:  Find different shades of tissue paper for each color.  Again, you don’t need much!  I cut out some rectangle strips.

 Step 4:  Cut out the color word cards.  I already made them for you!  I made two sets of color words.  One set is in all uppercase, and one set is in all lowercase.  Color words included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black, brown, and rainbow.

 Step 5:  Glue your color word cards back-to-back.

 Step 6:  Put all the items in the bottles.  Charlie liked helping me with this step, and it was great fine motor work, too!

 Step 7:  Glue and tape the lids.  I used hot glue to seal the lids.  This is a VERY important step if you are making them for preschoolers, toddlers, or babies!  Then, add tape around the lid.  This keeps kids from picking off the hot glue.  I used matching colored tape!

You are finished!

I hope you enjoy your bottles as much as we do!  My 7-month-old and my 2-year-old are loving them.  Hopefully, they will let me take them to school!  I was so excited when my 2-year-old told me “O” when he was looking at the yellow sensory bottle.  My preschoolers are going to LOVE them!
