Create gingerbread sensory bottles that will captivate your preschool, pre-k, or toddler students! Sensory bottles are calming yet absolutely mesmerizing at the same time. One is full of glitter like traditional sensory bottles, and others are a bit different with an “I Spy” sensory bottle feel. The sensory bottles are so simple to make; try making them with your students in a small group.
