Discovery Bottles

Margaux  is obsessed with water bottles so this was a much-loved sensory activity. I filled some empty water bottles with a few different things I had around the house which would catch the light or make different sounds. She's been playing with those with delight so I had to share.
- I used thoroughly dried 1 liter sized water bottles
- Fill them up and tie a ribbon around for added fun
- Safety tip: if your baby/young child knows how to open the bottle, use a hot glue gen to seal the cap

Content:

  • a collection of buttons all different shapes, sizes and colors
  • water with some cinnamon
  • pieces of aluminium foil 
  • packing foam 
The buttons are great for the colors and sound, the aluminium foil catches the light, the water is great for movement and seeing the cinnamon mix in, packing foam gives a subtle sound and light movement.

    1. Thank you Si Wai! It's funny how babies seem to always enjoy things taken from their environment more than actual toys. They're the most inspiring little people!
