Over the past several weeks I have had so much fun participating in a Christmas sensory play series with my friends Christie, Kate, Ana, Cathy and Meri. Each week we've shared a different activity to engage our five senses.
Today I'm putting all of our activities into one big post so that you can have one stop shop for Christmas sensory play goodness here on Toddler Approved.
I plan to go through and try a bunch of these with my kids when we are on our holiday break starting tomorrow. Just click on the links below to get full tutorials for each activity!
