Christmas Sensory Tub

Here's the Christmas sensory tub I'm using with both my preschooler and my tot.  I bought a few things from the dollar store and the rest of the items were things I found around the house or tucked away in our Christmas boxes.   Here's what's inside: 

Christmas Sensory Tub 
Bells 
Ball and Bell Ornaments
Bows
Tissue 
Christmas Bags
Krinkled Bag Stuffing 
Variety of Stuffed Ornaments 
Artificial Poinsettias
Empty Paper Towel Rolls 
Pine Scented Tart Candle (wrapped)


My tot likes picking up and looking at each of the items.  Most of the time he just takes things out of the tub and then puts them back in.  Other times he'll watch his big sis and follow her lead.  My preschooler likes making patterns with the ornaments and using the paper towel rolls as a chute for the ball ornaments.

  2. What a fun idea! And this is so perfect for my new linky party. I'd love if you would come by and share this (or any other fun activities) at my first Thrifty Thursday Linky Party this week! It is a place to specifically share FREE (or nearly free) learning activities. Come check it out!

  6. Hi Lisa, thanks for stopping by my blog. I love the idea of paper towel tubes, I think I'll add that to my bin this week - I'm sure it will become a chute for everything that will fit in it! lol

  8. I just posted about our sensory bin too. I love how so many moms are posting sensory bins with pretty much the same materials but the presentation is so different and unique each time. Using toilet paper or paper towel tubes is a really fun idea!
