Sensory Light-Up Water Jar - Yellow
A beautiful sensory jar that you or your child can fill with tap water, glitter, pom-poms, sequins, and all sorts of little treasures. Maybe even a little bath toy?
To open the lid, press both sides at the same time while twisting. This helps make the jar spill-proof for curious little fingers.
- Start by inserting the batteries: Grab a screwdriver, unscrew the bottom and insert 3 AAA batteries (not included). Then thread the bottom back on.
- Now fill the jar with tap water - not mineral water or other liquids. The ions in tap water help activate the jar’s light.
- Add pom poms, beads, sequins, glitter, or any other waterproof little treasures and let them swirl around in the water.Â
- Be careful not to use too much glitter, as it can cover the sensors and turn off the light.
- The sensory bottle will cycle through 9 different colours. If you tap the side, it will switch to a new colour.Â
- Turn the bottle upside down to switch it off, and store it with the lid facing down.
Cleaning
Use a coffee filter when emptying and cleaning the jar. That way, you can reuse the decorations and keep your glitter from disappearing down the drain. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the jar with warm soapy water once a day.
What can I put in the sensory jar?
Most objects that are water-safe, fit in size, and won’t dissolve can go into the jar.Â
How long does the light in the sensory jar last?
The sensory jar will light up as long as the batteries have power. So it depends on the quality of the batteries. When the light runs out, insert new batteries and it's ready to go again.
Turn the sensory jar upside down to switch it off. As long as there’s 3.5–4 cm of air at the top, the light will switch off.
Measures approximately 15 x 11.5 x 18.5 cm.
Please note that the opening is smaller than the circumference of the jar.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 18 mos. to 7 yrs.
This is a toy your child can just play with without first having to figure out how it works. There is no right or wrong way to play here, and there are no rules your child needs to follow. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. We call this type of play intuitive play. It's also called "open ended play". Let your child play by following their intuition and take the opportunity to notice what happens.
Unlike types of play which focus on achieving a result or playing within specific boundaries, intuitive play will most often give you a fascinating peek into your child’s independent thought process, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
Develops important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and learning ability:
- Gives your child a wonderful calm moment and a little break in an otherwise hectic day.
- A splendid gift idea for your curious child.
