Christmas Tree Sensory Bin!

Christmas Tree Sensory Bin!

Last week we looked at Christmas Trees! We talked about what they mean and why we put them up in our homes. 

I decided it would be a good time to bring in parts of a Christmas Tree! They could not get enough of it!

I had tree branches from a pine tree, scented pine cones, ornaments, and a shaker filled with bells. 




Starting in on the fun!
   


















Our friends would look at the items in the bin and were unsure of what was in there. It did not take long for our friends to dig right in! 



                                        

   

                                                                                    
    


My friends started to smell the objects! 




 
 The pine cones smelled like cinnamon and the branches smelled like pine. 

 


One friend decided to smell the ornament and see what it smelled like. Unfortunately it did not have a smell... 


  













Looking at the shiny ornaments! They are shatterproof and are hard to break. 

 Someone is having fun! 


They Discovered the Bells!!

Every day my friends love getting into this sensory bin. The great smells, colors, and textures make for a fun time! I will be keeping this in my room through Christmas. They enjoy it so much I cant seem to take it away!
