21 Christmas and Winter Sensory Play Ideas

Christmas and Winter Sensory Play Ideas

Yay! The holidays are coming! One of the things I make sure I do with my kids is to really immerse them in the season and all that it means. Really, for any season. We know that when kids are exposed to things in a variety of environments, it helps them learn. So we have decorations, food, music, you name it.

Pandora has a great selection of holiday channels. And of course, the therapeutic activities that I do with my son get a holiday makeover sometimes too. Here are 21 Christmas and winter-themed light play and sensory activities for kids. I can’t wait to get started on some of them.
