Home made sensory bottles
Sensory bottles are really good for anxious and sensitive children. These bottles can be used for older children to explore what is inside the bottle and younger children to investigate items inside the bottle that is not yet safe for them to touch. #homechildcare #earlyyears #sensoryplay #sensory #sensorybottles #homemade #create #workingfromhome #anxietyrelief #sensitivity #relax #calm
