Get into the Christmas spirit with these gorgeous, yet calming, sensory bottles! Sensory bottles are so much fun and have the added benefit of helping students calm down. These are filled with fun little treasures like glitter, bells, bow, sequins, and loom rubber bands. The sensory bottles are so simple to make; try making them with your students for small group or, even better, have your students create their own!
