Rainbow Loom Sensory Bottle
It’s time to share our April sensory bottle! Today I’m sharing a very simple bottle that looks so pretty! We added just one thing to our sensory bottle, but it was one of our favorites!
Here’s what I used to create this sensory bottle:
- Voss Plastic Water Bottles
filled with water (use a plastic bottle, which can be found at some grocery stores or gas stations) - rainbow loom (99 cents at Hobby Lobby for a pack!)
- Hot glue gun to glue the lid down

(99 cents at Hobby Lobby for a pack!)I love showing sensory bottles to my baby. He is 8 months old and is at an age where he really enjoys looking and playing with the sensory bottles. As he gets older, he will be able to handle the bottles better on his own.
Rainbow loom is a great item to add to a sensory bottle. The bands swirled around nicely whenever we shook the bottle or tipped it upside down. They looked beautiful floating in the tall bottle!
The rainbow bands really captured my son’s attention!
You can use the sensory bottle to play with babies with the following:
- shake the bottle and show the bottle to baby
- let the baby shake the bottle
- roll the bottle
This bottle can also be used with toddlers and preschoolers. Just watching the rainbow bands swirl around is a calming activity…I even enjoyed it!
We love to make all kinds of sensory bottles. To see all of them, visit here.
Disclosure: Please make this bottle ahead of time and keep all rainbow loom bands away from small children. Make sure to glue the lid on so the bottle does not spill. Please always supervise your child while doing activities.
I was just wondering did you add Oil to the water? It looks so much fun, kids around me are going to love it.
Hello! I did not use oil. Just water!
I am SO GLAD I saw this just now…I have a TON of rainbow loom rubber bands set aside for my next garage sale! Not anymore! BTW, I find Voss bottles at Albertson’s here in SoCal…usually in the water aisle on the top shelf. I have made several sensory bottles, and this one will soon be added to my collection! Thank you from a new follower!!
I love this! My niece and I used some of her loom bands to make one for my baby. I found that adding some glycerine to the water kept the bands swirling for longer, and allowed my niece to make a loom band tornado by twirling the bottle just so.

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Aww thanks for sharing. She’s so cute!! And thanks for linking back to my site 🙂
What a fantastic idea, I will look forward to making one for my grandchildren and I was wondering if you had tried any other things that we find around the house?
We’ve used items such as glitter, googly eyes, beads, cut up straws, confetti, food coloring, and vegetable oil. You can see all our bottles here: https://teachingmama.org/?s=sensory+bottle
