It’s cold outside so bring the seasonal fun inside with these winter-themed sensory bottles! Students will love shaking, wiggling, and observing these wintry sensory bottles! Place them in the science center or the safe place for students to experience these gorgeous additions to your classroom!
When I think of winter, I think of a tree covered in snow, a snowstorm, and a snowman. All of these things are outside where is it cold, or maybe you live somewhere warm where it does not snow. Bring a winter wonderland in the classroom by making fun sensory bottles that students can explore!
