Hi guys! I have a new found diy, DISCOVERY BOTTLES! Making these discovery bottles for your infant or toddler is great sensory play that encourages early child development! Who doesn't want a smart kid!?!
Sensory play, what's that? Well, it's activity that stimulates the senses: smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight. You're probably wondering how do I know that information? Welp, I have a degree in Psychology...but, no I'm not a psychologist. Just actually remember what I was taught.
Now, what may annoy you the most about making these bottles are the fact that they make noise! *dun dun dunnnnn* Don't let it drive you crazy, just take a deep breath and remember that you are doing this for your child. So, let's get to it here's what I used:

Now, what may annoy you the most about making these bottles are the fact that they make noise! *dun dun dunnnnn* Don't let it drive you crazy, just take a deep breath and remember that you are doing this for your child. So, let's get to it here's what I used:
- An empty bottle
- Glitter
- Styrofoam shapes
- Beads
- Pipe cleaner
- Sequins
- Mini pompoms
- Colored and clear duct tape
- Place a small piece of clear duct tape on the outside of the bottle to cover up the glue from pulling off the wrapper
- Unscrew the cap and place all of the objects in the empty (might I add clean) bottle
- Screw the cap back on and shake the bottle to move the glitter around
- Place colored duct tape around the bottle cap
- ALL DONE! LET BABY ENJOY!
