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.
