The holidays are a wonderful time to use sensory play. With all the hustle and bustle, it can become even more important for kids to have down time and sensory play allows them to do that. These Nativity sensory activities bring the true meaning of Christmas into that sensory play. 
Nativity Sensory Activities:
Invite kids to engage both their creativity and senses with a station for Nativity Playdough.
A perhaps unexpected sensory play recipe is this one for Nativity Slime. It’s a favourite with kids.

We used the same buttons to create our Nativity Sensory Bag.
The Christmas story is the main event with the Sensory Nativity Story Box from The Fairy and The Frog.

Nativity Sensory Bins:

The Nativity Sensory Bin at Growing Hands on Kids incorporates homemade elements so kids can really be involved in the process of creating the bin with you. It allows them to make Christmas crafts and then play with those in a very hands-on way.
Away in a Manger Nativity Sensory Bin from The OT Toolbox again begins with kids helping to create the elements that will be used inside the bin, this time making adorable egg carton characters and animals.
Catholic Icing shares their Playmobil Nativity Sensory Bin which has the cutest little stone walking paths and uses blocks to create the buildings.
