Considerations for disability characteristics The amount of liquid, color, and objects to add are to be adjusted so as to attract children’s attention and so that children enjoy their movements, the sound of the liquid, and the touch.
Sensory bottles and bags are carried wherever and whenever the chances of children becoming uneasy are high, such as visiting a new place and attending an unfamiliar event, so that they can use the bottle or bag as soon as they need it.

Children enjoyed watching, throwing and touching sensory bags during free activity time.
