This innovative sensory tool is quickly becoming a must-have for South African parents, educators, and therapists looking for creative ways to help children manage stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation.
The DIY Calm Down Bottle is a unique, refillable sensory bottle that comes with all the creative elements needed to build a personalised tool for relaxation. Simply add water along with a dash of oil or a few drops of washing up liquid, and watch as the vibrant, swirling contents provide a soothing, visual experience. With its included craft pack, the bottle is fully customisable—allowing children to add their favourite materials, colours, or textures for endless creative play and repeated use.
Designed for focused, calm play, the Calm Down Bottle is more than just a toy—it’s a practical tool used by parents, teachers, and therapists alike.
