    I want to make these with my preschool co-op class, but is there a good source for bulk baby oil?

      Hi Sasha,
      I don’t have a specific direction to point you in for purchasing bulk baby oil. Perhaps you can look into the wholesale club stores like Sam’s Club, Costco and BJs.
      Good luck in making your sensory bottles!
