Description

Express your Feelings – Sensory Bottles Opposites

The Express Your Feelings – Sensory Bottles Opposites Set is a thoughtfully designed tool to help children explore and understand their emotions through visual and tactile play. Each bottle represents contrasting emotional states, encouraging discussion and recognition of feelings in a safe and engaging way.

Healthcare professionals, including occupational therapists and child psychologists, frequently use sensory bottles to support emotional regulation. By observing and interacting with the bottles, children can identify emotions, calm their nervous system, and practice mindfulness.
