How to Make a Star Wars Sensory Bottle

Sharing is caring!

Do your children love Star Wars more than anything? If so, work together with your little ones to create a fun Star Wars sensory bottle that will entertain and amaze them.

Did you know sensory toys are naturally good for a child’s development? Different sensory toys and activities can improve fine motor skills, encourage children to problem solve, and get them excited to do other things. If you were looking for an excellent sensory activity to do with the children, you could teach them how to make kid lightsabers. These lightsabers are perfect for children who watch Star Wars and enjoy it. They will get excited to learn that they can put something together that is similar to what the characters use in the movies.

The Supplies Needed to Make the Star Wars Sensory Bottle

When making the Star Wars kid lightsabers, you will need specific supplies. Make sure you have enough of these items for each child in the household. If you are making the sensory bottles for a Star Wars party, it is best to get more supplies because you want to have enough lightsabers for each child.

  • Plastic Storage/Sensory Bottle. You can find these bottles on Amazon or at Michael’s.
  • Elmer’s Glue. You will need several bottles of Elmer’s glue. Make sure it is the clear version!
  • Warm Water. Use warm water from your faucet to add to each of the sensory bottles.
  • Glitter or Confetti. Purchase glitter or confetti from any store and add it to your bottles.

Adding toys is optional. If you want the sensory bottles to look even cooler, you may want to add mini plastic toy figures into the bottle with water, glue, glitter, or confetti. If you can find glow-in-the-dark glitter, consider buying it and using it. The glow-in-the-dark glitter makes these sensory bottles even more fun. Small glow sticks are also a great addition to these bottles.

How to Make Your Star Wars Sensory Bottles

When making the sensory bottles as one of many Star Wars crafts you can complete with your kids, it is important to have the right supplies. Once you have the essential items needed to make these bottles, you can follow these steps to get started:

Empty an entire bottle of Elmer’s glue into a single sensory bottle. You will complete this process with each bottle that you make.

Add warm water to each glue bottle. It would be best to fill it to the halfway point before pouring the water into a sensory bottle. Complete this step until you have filled each bottle with water.

Seal the bottles with lids and shake them vigorously to allow the glue and water to mix.

If you plan on using glitter, glow sticks, and any toys, you should add that in the beginning when you pour the glue into your bottles.

Continue to add layers of glue, glitter, and toys until you achieve the appearance that you like most.

Seal the bottle with glue to ensure that it will not open when the children play with these bottles. You might also want to use a bit of duct tape for extra support.

Once you finish following these steps, you will have the perfect sensory bottles for your children to play with and even hand out at a birthday party.

This is a simple but entertaining craft for kids to make that would be fun to make at parties or just a fun daily activity to entertain the kids. Encourage them to take the bottle outside and see it glow! I hope you enjoy this Star Wars themed craft!
