Halloween is filled with jack-o-lanterns, spiders, witches, monsters, and other spooky things. It’s the perfect combination of spooky icons to create memorizing sensory bottles for your little learners. Sensory bottles can be used to help students calm down in the safe place or examine in the science center. Sensory bottles are easy to make and even more fun to make when you have students’ help.
