Pencil Sensory Bottle
It's time to share my sensory bottle of the month! This month I'm going with the theme "Back to School". I decided to make a sensory bottle look like a pencil!

Slow-Falling Beads Sensory Bottle

This is different than our other sensory bottles and I loved creating this one for my baby to play with! I have to admit that this was not my original idea. I first saw the idea for a suspended bead sensory bottle at Fun … [Read more...]
