Glow in the Dark Halloween Pumpkin Sensory Bottle

Here’s a Jack o’ Lantern Glowing Sensory Bottle your kids are sure to love!

My daughter has always had a strange obsession with Pumpkins and Jack o’ lanterns since she first set eyes on them. I can remember her chirping happily pointing from her baby carrier on our daily walks. She cried miserably once they disappeared. Now she can enjoy her glowing jack o’ lantern calm down jar all year!!

Glow in the Dark Halloween Pumpkin Sensory Bottle

A friendly calm down bottle like this is perfect for children that get anxious or easily scared on Halloween. This discovery bottle can also be used as Halloween lantern decoration. For more information about calm down sensory bottles and their uses click HERE.

These glow in the dark loom bands don’t glow brightly or last long without an external source of light. They can be ‘charged’ by placing them under a regular light or in the sun. To make these loom bands glow a little brighter, pop an orange glow stick in it on Halloween night or use a black light.

Jack o’ Lantern Glowing Sensory Bottle: Materials

• Voss Water Bottle (These are our favorite bottles to use)
• Goo Gone 
• Glow in the dark loom bands (I used most of the bag of orange in this set)
• Water
• Permanent Marker
• Super Glue
• Orange Glow Stick (Optional)
• Black light flashlight (optional)

Glow in the Dark Halloween Sensory Bottle: Directions

1. Peel off sticker on bottle. Use Goo Gone to remove sticky residue.

2. Empty and/or drink water in Voss bottle.

3. Drop orange glow in the dark loom bands into the Voss bottle. At first, we used only about half of the orange loom bands in this set. After playing with this sensory bottle for a bit we discovered that this loom band bottle works best with lots of orange looms in it so we used most of the bag of orange in this set.

4. Add water to the Voss bottle.

5. Fill the bottle up the rest of the way with water. You want to fill it all the way to the top so there is no air in it.

6. Place lid on the bottle.

7. Use a permanent marker to draw a simple jack o’ lantern face on the Voss bottle.

Play with your glow in the dark loom band sensory bottle for a few days before you glue the lid on. You may find that you want to add or remove some loom bands.

Don’t glue it shut if you know you would like to put an orange glow stick in it at some point. You could even remove the glow stick when it loses its power and change it out for another one. Easy peasy.
