This is a FUN DIY toddler sensory toy idea – sensory bags! Fill em up with body wash, add some glitter or anything else and they’re tons of sensory fun for your toddler or baby (and for YOU!)

DIY Sensory “Discovery” Bottle Toys
Along the same line as the sensory bag toys, these are sensory “discovery” bottles that you can easily make at home from clean, empty water bottles!
Baby and toddler sensory bottles can offer endless hours of play & learn. Fill plain plastic bottles with buttons, pompoms, paperclips, washing-up liquid, beads or anything colorful and noisy you find lying around. Add some sparkle and color with a little food coloring and glitter. Make sure to glue the bottle shut for safety.
