Looking for a Christmas sensory bin for toddlers or preschoolers? Try one of these Christmas sensory box ideas that are inspired by popular Christmas carols.

One of my favorite parts about Christmas is definitely the music. I mean I love Christmas carols! Although, I'm not one of those people who instantly crank the Christmas tunes as soon as November 1st rolls around...

Anyway, imagine you took some of those classic Christmas carols and turned them into a sensory box for your child.

The result would be a fun Christmas sensory bin that's Christmas carol inspired.

From Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to Jingle Bell Rock, these ideas are so creative and fun that toddlers and preschoolers (okay, kids of any age really!) will love digging around in them.

Sensory Bin Ideas for Christmas that are Inspired by Popular Christmas Songs

Kids of all ages can enjoy these Christmas sensory box suggestions - yes even older babies and toddlers. You can always adapt these sensory activities and use materials that you are comfortable with giving to your child to play with. For instance, use large jingle bells instead of those itty bitty ones.

And since they're inspired by popular Christmas songs, you can put on the appropriate Christmas tune on in the background while your child plays with the sensory bin it inspired. Or they can sing the words (if they know them) as they play.
