Simple rice sensory bottle

August 5, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

When our little one was 9-10 months old, we travelled to Europe to visit family. We only took a couple of favourite (easily replaceable, easily packed, lightweight) toys. So, of course, we had to get a bit creative.

This beautiful, small, blue plastic water bottle was given to us on the plane. For a considerable amount of journey time , it was the best toy ever! – Both with water and without, in fact, as a bonus, it changed it’s sound and weight when shaken with different amounts of water. The size and shape of this bottle was perfect for his little hands too.
With a couple of spoons of rice added, 6-7 months later… the bottle survives as a long time favourite, with or without music – plane, car, pram, anywhere! Absolute gold!!
