Pirate’s Treasure Sensory Bottle

This gorgeous sensory bottle is a fun and easy activity, especially for toddlers and preschoolers who love learning about pirates, the ocean and sailing. This fun sensory bottle is a great way to add a fun and creative element to a pirate learning unit as well. To create this bottle, you will need:

1 (16 ounce) VOSS plastic bottle or a sensory bottle
2 to 3 bottles (6 ounce) Elmer’s Glue in clear
About 1 cup warm water
1 TBSP gold sequins
About 1 tablespoon glitter (optional)
Toys (if desired) – we used these aquarium gems

To make this sensory bottle, first you will need to empty one bottle of glue into the bottle. Then fill the empty glue bottle about half full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal the lid.

Shake well to combine the remaining glue in that bottle with the water. Pour into jar with glue and shake or stir to combine.

Add the sequins, glitter or toys into the glue mixture.

Seal the jar and shake well. If the glitter or confetti does not move easily, add more warm water. If the glitter or confetti moves too quickly, add additional glue. Continue adding in layers with the glitter and toys until you achieve your desired effect.

When the contents of the bottle move according to your preference, seal the bottle and glue the lid closed to avoid spills.
