These bottles can address various skills and can be tailored to meet the needs of the children using them. While this list is long, it only covers a portion of the learning concepts that can be addressed with sensory bottles:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Math skills: counting, matching, shape recognition, spatial reasoning<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pre-reading skills: letters, sounds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vocabulary skills: descriptive language, following directions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fine motor skills\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Science skills: Sink\/float, introduction into the scientific method &#8211; making an observation, asking a question, testing a hypothesis or prediction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many preschoolers (and even older children) are not able to self-regulate their emotions and often require some sort of instruction for how to respond to emotional- or sensory-based stressors.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It will likely be the most effective when given to the child before he <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">completely<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> escalates and is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">totally<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> inconsolable. It will take some practice for the child to experience how it works. Shake up the bottle, hand it to him, and see what he does. When a sensory bottle has items such as glitter in it that slowly move up and down, children are often captivated by watching, and this calms their breathing and helps them regulate themselves and their emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Easy to Make<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sensory bottles are incredibly quick to create and do not cost much. The bottles are portable and do not require a trip to a children\u2019s museum. There are many excellent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/preschoolinspirations.com\/how-to-make-a-perfect-sensory-bottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">resources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for how to create a sensory bottle.It is surprising that something so simple can create such fun sensory play at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/highland-glen-pearland\/blog\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog page<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
