Wrapping Sensory

It's Monday and Christmas is creeping up on me!

Do you have a lot of wrapping paper scraps laying around? If so, they will make the perfect filling for a sensory box!

Wrapping Paper Sensory Box:

Materials:

• Wrapping paper scraps
• Kid scissors

Procedure:

• Throw some wrapping paper (maybe add some tissue paper too!) into a container
• Let your kiddo tear and/or cut it into pieces

 

You could tear it up before putting it in or let your tot have at it with a pair of scissors.

 

In the past,  I have also added tape and small boxes and created a wrapping station (or maybe make it part of Santa's Workshop!), but although I  am sure my girl would love to get her hands on some tape, I skipped it. Maybe next year.

Ya, she liked sitting INSIDE the box.

 

This is an activity that I only take out when I am around to supervise Liza with her scissors. I practiced with her and helped her to properly handle them. 

 

She insisted on holding her new Winnie the Pooh the whole time :)

 

 

That's what is inside our sensory bin at the moment, but it will soon change. I hope to whip up something fun in there before the North Pole party I am throwing for a few of Liza's toddler friends!
