I Spy Bottle

I Spy Bottles - I think these home-made bottles are so cute and fun!  I experimented over the weekend making one for Ben.  I used rice and black/orange Halloween sprinkles.  I put in plastic spiders and some little plastic pumpkins I had lying around from past years.  Right now Ben is too young to truly enjoy the fun of discovering all the treasures inside the bottle, but he does like the sound the rice makes when he rattles it around.  I'm going to start collecting little things to make more holiday I Spy bottles and get more creative with coloring the rice and using beans and other filler that will be pleasing to both the eyes and ears.  When he's a little older and more sophisticated, I think it would be fun to take photos of the objects in the bottles so he can then be on the look-out for the objects he's supposed to be spying.  Happy Hunting :)
