This shark sensory bottle is perfect to make in preparation for shark week next week. We look forward to watching each year!

Shark Sensory Bottle

Dustyn is still a big fan of anything shark/ocean related so he loves this! Plus it is nice to use when he gets upset. He can shake it and watch the glitter. Very calming.

Shark Sensory Bottle How To

Supplies Needed: 

Water Bottle (I used Sparkling Ice bottles because they are smooth, a VOSS water bottle would work too)

Blue Glitter Glue

Extra Blue Glitter

Water

Sea Creatures

Hot Glue or Super Glue

Instructions:

Put about half of the glitter glue and a sprinkle of extra blue glitter into your clean water bottle.

Add warm water so that the glue mixes in.

Shake it up really well.

Then add little sea creatures. I added a couple sharks, and whales.

Finally hot glue or super glue the top onto the bottle

Dustyn had fun watching the glitter fall and finding the sea creatures.

Are you doing anything special to  prepare for Shark Week? 

Check out his shark birthday from a couple years ago for more ideas.

    That is so cute! When my kids were younger and both were in OT we did a lot of sensory play. This would have been fabulous!

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
