Winter Sensory Crafts

Sensory activities are a fun way to encourage your child to explore new things using their senses. The interesting thing about sensory play is that every child has a unique experience. Unlike some crafts where there is an end objective that every participant is trying to achieve, sensory play is all about the journey. What does this feel like? Does it look like anything else? Does the smell remind you of anything?

Winter isn’t quite over yet, so let’s make the most of the remaining weeks by incorporating these fun sensory play activities for toddlers. If you’re looking for something different for your child to do after dinner or on a Saturday morning, this list is for you.
