Sensory bottles

What are sensory bottles?

Sensory bottles are sealed bottles filled with liquid and colourful particles that move slowly. When you shake or tilt the bottle, the glitter, beads or droplets drift gently downwards. This slow movement draws attention and has a calming effect, helping children and adults settle for a moment. Think of the Move Bottle Spiral, the mini liquid motion timers or the Petit Boum 3-Pack with variants such as Fantasy, Ice, Magic, Paradise and Serenity. Sensory bottles are widely used as an aid for tension, restlessness or to help focus.

Choosing a sensory bottle

Sensory bottles differ in experience and effect. Keep these points in mind when choosing:

• Movement and pace: a spiral bottle moves differently from a liquid motion timer, so choose the effect that relaxes or captivates best.
• Colour and theme: from serene shades to cheerful colours, each theme creates a different atmosphere.
• Purpose: will you use the bottle to calm down, or to focus attention and explore?

A set with several bottles, such as the Petit Boum 3-Pack, offers variety in colour and experience. That way you can easily find the bottle that best suits the moment.
