St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with St. Patrick’s Day themed sensory bottles! Sensory bottles can be used to help students calm down in the safe place (aka calm down spot), examine in the science center, or learn letters in the library center with the rainbow letter bottle. Sensory bottles are easy to assemble and even more fun to make when you have your students help.

- place pom poms in the bottle (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red) and sprinkle letter bead in after each color to make the beads all over the bottle
- fill to the top with water, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top so there is room to shake

- For extra letter fun, place a Letter I Spy worksheet (FREEBIE) out with the bottle so students can trace the letters as they find them!
