Sad thing is, I remember these as a small child.
This classic is the mother of all other discovery bottles. Fill to the very top with one part baby oil and one part water (with a few drops of green and blue food coloring mixed in). Shaking will produce gorgeous clear bubbles immersed in the blue water while holding horizontally and rocking will replicate small ocean waves in a bottle.
These galvanized hex nuts look pretty and make a fun sound when rattled. The speed of the dropping objects in this bottle also serves as a nice contrast to the slower moving pins in baby oil bottle.
The glitter in this one eventually separates out and settles to the bottom. I read here that this could be used as a calming tool for kids. Give it to them to shake when they're worked up and ask them if they can watch all the sparkles hit the bottom. 
The bubbles eventually all disappear but all you have to do is shake and the bottle fills up once again. (I added purple food coloring here too.)
This is the only one I didn't hot glue the lid on, it's also a bit random - just some colored peanuts I found in the dollar aisle at Target.
