This snowflake sensory is both beautiful and easy to make — plus it kind of doubles as DIY winter home decor.
If you’re not familiar with sensory bottles (also known as discovery bottles or calm down jars), they’re basically a bottle filled with some sort of thick, drippy liquid, plus a lot of “stuff” that swirls around in it.
Not only do they have a calming effect on people of all ages (similar to how you feel when you watch an aquarium), but you can use them to encourage skills like counting, problem solving, sorting, and visual perception.
And that’s it!

Whether you love the spooky, scary side of Halloween, the dressing up in costumes, or just the candy, you can get into the spirit of the season with these word searches.
I made 3 word searches, with two of them being fairly easy and the final one a little more challenging. They make a fun and simple activity for both home and school.
In addition to the word searches, I also included links to several Halloween books for kids. And if you scroll all the way down to the bottom, you’ll find links to more Halloween-themed crafts and activities.
Whether you’re a parent or a teacher, it’s a great idea to pair these word searches with a book or two (or six).
Here a few ideas to get you started:
