Sensory checklist  

Sight: sensory tub that has lots of vibrant colours. Christmas lights.

Hearing: use of musical instrument and singing. Songs played by Christmas decorations . Listen to Christmas carol cd .

Taste: babies old enough could try Christmas food. The little ones could lick a candy cane, try some chocolate. Although my baby son has a cow's milk allergy so he can't have the chocolate.

Touch: feel the Christmas teddies. Feel the objects in the sensory tub.. Touch paint and print onto paper/ card . Touch cinnamon salt dough. 

Smell: make cinnamon salt dough , put Christmas smelling candles on. Have real pine and other typical Christmas scents like cloves and peppermint. 

Art/craft: hand/footprint xmas cards,  salt dough ornaments

Messy play: painting with pine cones

Role play: dress up as xmas characters

Explore & discover: Christmas objects , smells and songs.

Physical activity: action sounds about xmas, playing instruments

Book club: read xmas books

Follow up ideas- go see Santa
