Make fun, discovery bottles that will capture your baby’s attention. Take any empty bottles (small baby juice bottles or small pop bottles) and fill them with a combination of soap and water, water and oil or plain oil, or corn syrup and add glitter, beads, and sequin. Put the lid on the jar and either glue it or wrap it with wide packing tape. Make sure the baby cannot open the lid. Let the baby moves the bottle up and down a shake it to discover objects and liquid moving in the bottle. Talk to the baby as he discovers these fun bottles.
