Snowman Sensory Bottle

The magic of this snowman sensory bottle is a perfect activity for little ones. 

Watch as children laugh and learn with their new sparkly snowman friend. 

Supplies:

  • Plastic water bottle
  • Water
  • Fine Glitter

  • Ribbon
  • Hot Glue Gun (optional)

Directions:

Fill the empty bottle halfway with warm water. 

Add glitter. 

Top off with the light corn syrup (Do not fill to the top. 

Space is needed so when it’s shaken, the glitter can swirl around). 

Secure lid either by simply twisting the cap back on or hot gluing it on so it cannot be taken off. 

Next, draw the snowman on the bottle. 

Use the black sharpie to make the snowman’s hat, face and tummy buttons. 

Use the orange sharpie for its nose. 

Tie a piece of ribbon around the bottle for the scarf.
