Sensory Tubs and Button Snake

This Christmas tub is the first sensory tub I've made for Avery.  It has small ornaments, miniature Christmas trees, green and red pom poms, pretend lights, small stockings, fake candycanes, and "cookie" letters that spell out "Merry Christmas". 

 This is her new button snake.  Each end of the ribbon has a button sewn on to it, and Avery uses her little fingers to push the button through the hole in each felt Christmas tree.  (I plan on making more felt shapes for different holidays.)  This activity works on her fine motor skills along with color recognition.


Here is the new sensory tub for winter.  I still want to find a few more things to add to it, but this is what I already had on hand.  It has blue and white pom poms, and fake ice cubes.  Each tub also has a pair of tongs and different types of scoops for Avery to pick the items up with.
