This one was a bit more labor intensive than the other activities I have posted, but it was still pretty easy. I took some old drinking bottles and filled them with all sorts of things for the babies to look at. They really had a good time with this.
The first one I filled with some water, food coloring, and dish soap. The babies like to shake it up and make it all foamy.
The next one is filled with rice, beans, and pebbles. I think this one may actually be their favorite. They love to make noise.... and well this does just that.
The third one I made I put in a few drops of purple glitter paint, some sequins, and filled it up with water. You can't see the sequins very well, but when you shake it you can see them swirl around inside. All the glitter is so swirly and it is really fun to watch. This one was my favorite. I think older kids would like this one more because it really is neat to watch, but it didn't really hold the babies interest.
This was such a great post and a wonderful and easy idea to do for the children. Thanks so much for letting me share it with my readers
ReplyDeleteLove this! Also I love the last picture of penny! Too Cute!
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law made one of these for my boys with rice, lentils, and penne pasta. I never thought about dish soap! They would totally get a kick out of the bubbles!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! It's wonderful to find things for the little ones to do. I just hope the caps don't pop off.

Hi Mary! Thanks for the follow. Right back at ya! Your littles are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! My baby loves water bottles. In fact, on Sunday at church we were sitting in the upstairs balcony so she could crawl around play, and she decided to grab a friend's water bottle from under their chair & was entertained for most of the service. I will DEFINITELY be trying this today if I can come up with a spare bottle somewhere around the house.
ReplyDeleteMy little guy loves sensory activities and had something like this in his class last year and it was favourite among many! Looks like your little ones love them :)
