HEALTH AND WELLBEING 6 CHRISTMAS CRAFTS AND ACTIVITIES FOR TODDLERS AND BABIES
DISCOVERY BOTTLE
Discovery bottles are my GO TO baby play activity because they’re just so easy to make and so fun for babies as it allows them to safely explore materials they wouldn’t normally. This one pictured here has some dyed rice, pom poms and scrunched up cellophane in it.
SENSORY BIN
What an awesome sensory bin of Christmassy fun! Filled with pine scented dyed rice, a mini Christmas tree and a few random red and green bits and bobs this will keep a toddler busy for ages! (Sorry in advance about the rice mess on your floor. Maybe do this one outside?).
SALT DOUGH ORNAMENTS
Salt dough is such an easy way for little ones to make their own Christmas tree ornaments and decorations (our go-to recipe is simply 1 cup salt, 1 cup flour and ½ cup warm water). Babies can stamp their hand or footprints into the dough, while toddlers will enjoy making shapes with Christmas cookie cutters.
