Discovery Bottles

There are so many links and blogs to making a discovery bottle. What is a discovery bottle? Discovery Bottles are soda bottles filled with various items to explore a scientific concept. The mini water bottles also work well for little hands. Or you can use the 20 oz soda/water bottles. Some of the fillers can be rice, sand, cut paper, gravel, salt, etc. After you close your bottle, hot glue around the lid. I plan to make colored bottles. Then some liquid ones as well. Maybe some shakers as well. The ideas are endless. Here are some links:

Be sure to see the blog on discovery bottles for toddlers and older.

Favorite Bev Bos Quotes

“Don’t buy your kids toys. If you do, make sure the toys are 90% child and only 10% toy.” This means that the toy shouldn’t manipulate the child – the child should be able to manipulate the toy. Battery-operated toys, for example, are 90% toy and only 10% child. They don’t give kids the opportunity to explore, navigate, and think for themselves.” as you shop for Christmas gifts or for your classroom.
Children were not born to walk. They were born to run-- barefoot, over rocks, through the water, through the mud. We need to give greater recognition to the energy and joy of children.” -- Bev Boss
"EARLIEST ISN'T BEST. FASTEST ISN'T BEST. If what we want for our children is a lifetime of excellence — in experience, in ability, in knowledge — we must be responsible enough to wait and thorough enough to look at all sides of their development."
