Each month, momstown Edmonton hosts a program dedicated to science and exploration. We always have a full house for this program! Kids just love to explore and learn about the world! This month, we decided to make Treasure Discovery Bottles similar to the ones we made at our Tales for Tots event with a little more of a science twist.
Everyone got to choose from an array of rhinestones, beads, jewels, and glitter to add to their empty bottles. It was a great activity to develop fine motor skills! We had funnels available for the kids to use, and some of them quickly learned that only small items would fit through them. Once full of treasure, the kids added water beads. If you haven't used water beads before, they are a fantastic sensory item! Kids love them, and you can use them over and over again. You can usually find them in places that sell dried/fake flowers. After adding the water beads, we filled the bottles with water and glued on the lids. I highly recommend using hot glue to glue the lids on! The kids (and mamas) loved watching the beads bounce around in the bottle as they turned them upside down. My son quietly watched his for 20 minutes at bedtime that night before falling asleep!
