In reply to Jaclyn. Use hot glue and tape to secure the lid!

In reply to Pat. We used glitter glue because it was colorful. Without it the bottle would mostly have been white or clear. But you can certainly try it with regular glue and see what the result looks like!

This is an amazing idea! Will be trying it out tomorrow. Just wondering why we need the glitter glue, or can it be eliminated?
Thanks

Hi
I am a retired preschool teacher.I love the Peace Corner idea. As for sealing the sensory bottles, I found that rubbing Karo syrup around the top of the bottle and also on the inside of the lid works great. Screw the lid on the bottle and let it dry.

We put warm water in measuring cup (one for crafts only) and then place glitter glue in water. Whisk until no clumps then pour into bottle. Works much better.

I’m very interested by the “peace corner” idea, so much more positive and engaging than time out on a chair, as many have said above..Thank you!

I have been making sensory bottles too. I have used mineral oil (from Ikea) and mixed it with water, glitter, food colouring and added shells, big glitter… The water and food colouring mix together but not the oil, it gives it movement, rather like the sea rolling in. The children love it!
