Valentine’s Day is filled with hearts, love, and candy hearts. It’s the perfect combination of things to create memorizing Valentines sensory bottles for your little learners. Sensory bottles can be used to help students calm down in the safe place or examine them in the science center. Sensory bottles are easy to make and even more fun to make when you have students’ help.
