Holiday Helper: Sensory Play Jar
Our Sensory Jar is a crowd favorite and can serve a significant purpose throughout the holidays for your little one. Read on for some ideas on how to incorporate it into already established routines and holiday traditions!
1. CARSEAT
If driving around to look at Christmas lights is on your bucket list this holiday season, make sure to grab your Sensory Jar before you head out of the door. It will be the perfect companion to your kiddo, especially if sitting in the car for a long period of time isn’t their favorite thing to do. In between looking at all of the glowing houses, it will give them something engage with!
2. CAMPING
Now it's time to bring your Sensory Jar along on your camping adventures! Think of it as the modern dan lantern - only 3 AAA batteries required! Let it light up your tent, tell silly stories around it, and take it with you on a hike. If it’s too cold to camp outside, then bring camping inside to your living room where it’s nice and warm!
3. MOVIE NIGHT
Can you imagine how fun it would be to create a themed Sensory Jar for movie night?! A Christmas themed jar would be incredible, but you can always let your imagination run wild as you fill up a jar with fantasy fairy, sensory safari or under the sea fillers - the list goes on! Pop some popcorn, get cozy and let the Sensory Jar illuminate the night!
4. CALM DOWN CORNER
It’s hard to think of something more appropriate for a calm down corner than our Sensory Jar. If your little one needs a minute to relax and recompose themselves, the Sensory Jar can provide a level of comfort and stress relief to even the youngest of us. With all of the added stress the holidays can bring, it can aid in helping your kiddo stay regulated!
5. NIGHTSTAND
Letting the Sensory Jar serve as a book light while winding down for the night can be so dreamy. It will light up the words and pictures on the pages of your favorite Christmas stories as you read them to your child. Make sure to turn it upside down if you plan to leave it on the nightstand throughout the night!
