Valentine’s Day is filled with hearts, love and candy hearts. It’s the perfect combination of things 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.

There is no wrong way to make a sensory bottle; have fun with it!
