If you are reading this blog, chances are you have a toddler in your house or you spend a decent amount of time with one. And, if you spend enough time around a toddler, you will notice that despite their irresistible chubby cheeks and slobbery kisses, they can be downright hard to manage sometimes! Toddlers have a great sense of adventure and a desire to be autonomous. Yet, they lack the ability to self regulate themselves. This constant conflict of \u201cwant to\u201d vs. \u201ccan do\u201d can cause a routine of constant frustration and meltdown behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what do you do? Let me introduce you to the sensory bottle! Not only can these be used to calm down anxious toddlers, but they can also be used as timers, boredom busters, or incentives! Sensory bottles are just regular plastic bottles that have had their wrappers removed and have been filled with all kinds of magical things (in a toddler\u2019s point of view). Fillings can include colored water, cooking oils, glitter, water beads, gel, sugar or salt, pom poms, sand, or small plastic objects of the same theme (bugs, stars, etc.) to name a few!<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a Sensory Bottle to Promote Calm<\/span><\/h4>\n

When you see that your toddler is teetering towards a tantrum, grab a sensory bottle and try to relocate to a quiet space. Show them the bottle. Give it a little shake. Let them hold onto it and watch as the glittery, oily water swooshes about and the small toys inside swim back and forth and appear out of nowhere! Simple things like this can help to refocus and relieve the frustration going on inside of your toddler.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a Sensory Bottle as a Timer<\/span><\/h4>\n

Toddlers are known to have very short attention spans. It can be hard to get toddlers to stay on the same task for any amount of time. And, since they have no real concept of time, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll be back in a minute,\u201d or \u201cPlay with these toys for a few minutes\u201d does not translate to them as a concrete amount of time.\u00a0 But, if you were to shake up the sensory bottle and say, \u201cI want you to sit right here until the water stops moving,\u201d they can understand that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a Sensory Bottle as a Boredom Buster<\/span><\/h4>\n

To really get your child interested in sensory bottles, it takes a little thought on your part. Think about the things your child has shown interest in. Is there any way to incorporate that into a bottle? If your child loves animals, you can make one with sand and little plastic animals inside. Come up with a few different themes, so when they are bored, you can pull one out to keep them busy for a while. This can be a lifesaver on a long road trip!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To make your own sensory bottle, you can just experiment with different bottles you have on hand and different ingredients to see how they work together. Remember to use child-safe bottles and to secure the lids to stay closed. If you want to skip the trial and error phase, there are many<\/span> places<\/span><\/a> to get great ideas on the internet!<\/span><\/p>\n
