Make a calming sensory bottle

[Dave]

If you're suffering from stress or negative thoughts, these sensory bottles can provide a great distraction and help keep you calm. They can also make fun additions to your office desk or bedside table.

Some sensory bottles are made using glitter. However, glitter (even the biodegradable kind) is harmful to the environment. This is why it's best to make your sensory bottles with water beads* (or 'Orbeez'), which are non-toxic and biodegradable. Water beads are tiny, absorbent beads that grow to 100 times their size when added to water.

All you need to do to make your sensory bottle is to put a teaspoon of water beads into a clear bottle or jar, fill it with water, and leave it for four to six hours. Once it's ready, shake it up, watch, and relax.
