DIY Calm Down Bottle: Assorted

The DIY Calm Down Bottle is a unique sensory bottle for focused, calm play. Sensory bottles have been used by parents, teachers, and therapists to help children self-regulate their breathing and improve their focus.

Learning to calm our bodies as adults can be hard sometimes, and it can be even more taxing on children who are still learning, growing, and developing. Incorporating sensory play is a way to aid our children’s brain development as well as their nervous system as it learns to regulate on its own. 

These bottles are a great tool for children and adults who struggle with 

• Hyperactivity

• Emotional regulation

• Sensory sensitivities 

Sensory bottles tend to be slower moving and have different ingredients or items interacting with each other, which makes them visually engaging. This visual can give kids’ brains an opportunity to pause and explore as they watch or feel the bottle in their hands while also fine-tuning those fine-motor skills. 

The award-winning DIY Calm Down Bottle from Jellystone Designs is a unique sensory bottle, where you receive all the creative elements required to create a sensory bottle perfect for your child. Just add water and it's ready to go! With this option, you can refill and reuse the sensory bottle for endless creative options.

Care Instructions: The Silicone Caps can be cleaned using a steriliser, placed in a dishwasher, or washed with warm soapy water. Refreshing the contents of the bottle is up to the user's discretion however, we recommend emptying and refilling every few months.
