Happy Saturday, friends!  We loved the link ups this week…so festive and very Christmas-y!  If you follow our blog, you know that we are big advocates of sensory play.  We pulled the features this week together to create the Ultimate List of Christmas Sensory Play Ideas!  So get ready to get messy and enjoy a little sensory exploration of textures, scents, and sounds with a Christmas theme.
