Mini discovery bottles are the perfect addition to a set of
busy bags. Although we filled ours, at Ana's request, with sequins that I've had sitting around the house for years. The goal is to not have to buy any materials but make a great toy that kids enjoy.
Materials:
- Empty, washed spice jars
- Materials to fill (sequins, glitter, sand, seashells, stones, pom poms, paper clips, tiny toys etc.)
- Super glue
To make the project, simply display materials to be put in the jars, and allow your child to choose what to put in their jar. You can make themed jars yourself. Super glue the lids securely in place, and then add the cute jars to your set of busy bags for a great toy to use when you're out and about.
For an alternative idea, make the bottles yourself and surprise your kids with them. It would be much less messy!
Important: Sequins and glitter are choking hazards. They are shards of metal! Other small objects are choking hazards as well, and this should only be done under CLOSE adult supervision. If you have materials all over like I did, it is important that you clean them all up right away to avoid hazards.

I am a fan of busy bags! I especially like the ones that aren't complicated to make or require a lot of money put into supplies. This one sure qualifies!
