I always find that preschoolers really love getting to celebrate Easter. There are bright colors, Easter bunnies, colorful eggs, and sweet treats! What’s not to love?! It’s really no surprise the kids love this holiday.
So, why not create some discovery jars with all of the fun things that remind us of Easter? I’ve created a list of some of my absolute favorite Easter sensory bottles for you to check out. Enjoy!
You could also guide the students in making their own sensory bottles, each on a slightly smaller scale. Then, instead of filling their bunny bag Easter craft with candy this year, let the kids fill it with their sensory jar creations!

And without further ado, here are my favorite Easter sensory bottles:

Learning with Easter Discovery Bottles
Students will love getting to bring Easter to life this spring by creating some of these discovery bottles with you! And not to mention all of the wonderful learning opportunities hidden within a simple sensory bottle.
You read that right! Easter sensory bottles may seem like just fun and games, but they’re also great learning tools! Here are just a few ways children can learn with sensory bottles:
- Descriptive vocabulary
- Volume
- Sink versus float
- Measurement
- Sensory exploration (especially sight)
- Counting
- Fine motor skills
- Color identification
And that’s just to name a few. The opportunities for learning and engagement are really endless!
Easter Sensory Bottle Materials
So, now you have some great sensory bottle ideas for your class this Easter. But don’t feel obligated to choose just one idea and stick with it. You can always pick and choose what you want to go in your sensory bottles.
Or better yet, ask your students what should be used to create an Easter sensory bottle. This can be a great way to spark conversation in the classroom and you might be surprised with just how creative they get!
And if the kids hit a creative roadblock, here are some materials to consider including in your sensory bottle:
- Tiny Easter eggs
- Small chick figurines
- Pastel sequins
- Small bunny figurines
- Easter-themed erasers
- Dry corn kernels
- Assorted glitter
