Christmas Sensory Bin and Playdough

I got our Christmas sensory bin and playdough all ready to go last week but am just now getting around to posting the pictures. The base of our sensory bin is the red and green rice that the kids dyed a few days before. I think they are both going to have so much fun playing with the bin and with the scented playdough!

In this box I put a couple plastic containers to scoop rice into. The peg game, presents, erasers, and green pine stems all came from the dollar store. The plush animal and basket are items I've had. The lacing beads came from the dollar spot at Target. The chipboard Santa ornaments and basket of elves came from Ikea and the wreaths and trees came from Michaels. The red and white baskets at the right were hand made in Africa and are supposed to be used to place messages in to your spouse to open on Christmas day.

Everything assembled in the bin.

The colored rice is at the bottom.

For our Christmas playdough, I dyed it green and added peppermint extract and glitter. I placed an assortment of Christmas cookie cutters in the box. I placed some random beads and jewels in a dish for the kids to use if they want to make a Christmas tree or wreath.
