Christmas Sensory Activities

The time leading up to Christmas is full of excitement and for kids with sensory issues, it can be a more challenging time with the change in schedules and all of the anticipation in the air. That is one of the reasons that it’s important to have sensory activities available for kids even during the holidays.
