Most of the children I’ve worked with over the years have loved rainbows! All of the brightest colors in one place, at the same time?! What’s not to love!? So why not combine that love of colors with the awesomeness that are sensory bottles?

Learning with Rainbow Sensory Bottles

Children see rainbows as these magical things that just appear in the sky. Of course we, as adults, know the science behind rainbows. Which brings me to my next topic: learning opportunities!

Any rainbow activity or lesson can provide children with a plethora of meaningful learning opportunities. But sensory bottles add new depth to those lessons by incorporating the kids’ senses. Here are just a few things that the kids can learn about and practice when creating or engaging with a rainbow sensory bottle:

  • The science of rainbows
  • Color theory
  • Color identification
  • Preschool weather concepts
  • Precipitation
  • Fine motor skills
  • Sensory input
  • Patterns and sequencing

And that is just to name a few. There are so many different concepts and skills that can be practiced with the rainbow sensory bottles!
