Sand Snowman Alphabet Sensory Bin

Celebrate a tropical Christmas this year with engaging and entertaining activities like this Sand Snowman Alphabet Sensory Bin!

Christmas literacy activities are a fun way for your young learners to work on letter recognition and much more this holiday season.

You can add this resource to your Holidays Around the World unit or use it as a Christmas-themed sensory activity.

When kids are exposed to the alphabet in a fun and interactive way, they are more likely to be interested in learning about letters and their sounds.

With alphabet sensory bins, they can explore their senses while also learning to identify letters by their names and shapes.

In addition, these types of activities can also help children improve their fine motor skills.

By picking up and manipulating small objects, they can develop the dexterity and coordination they need for writing and other activities.
