Oh how I love the Christmas season! It seems to always go by so quickly and I never have enough time to do all the crafts and activities I want to do with my kids. If you’re looking for some fun Christmas activities for toddlers and preschoolers, then you’re in the right place! Here are 12 that we love at our house.
1. Christmas Sensory Bin
We love sensory bins/tubs. So adding in brightly colored noodles, bells, and fake candy canes make this bin a lot of fun for little ones. (remember, please only do this activity if your child does not put items in their mouth!). To see how we made this bin, please visit this post.

Theres Just One Mommy recently posted…Pine Cone Christmas Tree Ornaments
I have never made a sensory bin until today. I modeled it off of your Christmas one and had only green and red items in the bin. My almost-3 year old really enjoyed herself! I wasn’t sure if I needed to lead with directions of some sort, but she just went to town! Thank you for the GREAT ideas.
