I LOVE sensory tubs … they’re relaxing for adults as well as for children! But they’re also wonderful for giving young children a rich sensory experience and can easily be adapted for any theme.
Today, I want to share ideas for snow-themed sensory tubs as part of the Winter Wonderland Blog Hop. These are sensory tubs that can be used at any time during the winter. (I have a separate post with 40+ Christmas sensory tubs and a number of Valentine’s Day sensory tubs in my Montessori-Inspired Valentine’s Day Activities post and Pinterest board. You’ll also find a post with Montessori-Inspired Winter Playdough {and Snow Dough} Activities.)

Oh these are great! I love the variety of fun you can have with a snow theme. We have had a bit of sickness for the last two weeks and my daughters have wanted to go out and play in our snow so this will be awesome activities for them to cheer them up.
Thanks, Veronica! I love the idea of bringing the snow inside for a child who’s too sick to play outdoors. I hope everyone feels well soon at your house. 🙂
Thank you so much for being part of the Blog Hop – what an awesome list!!
Thanks so much … and thanks for organizing the blog hop. It’s been lots of fun! 🙂

We love snow play! Looks like we’ll be needing all these ideas as it’s just started snowing here again!
Thanks for sharing our idea.

Great list! Thank you! What a way to bring some winter fun indoors. Pinning now!
Thanks for your kind comment, Vicky! And thanks for pinning this! 🙂
So many cute snow bins – what a great round-up! I am sharing this with my Facebook readers this week =-)
Thanks for linking up to TGIF! Have a great week,
Beth =-)
I just found this. Thanks so much, Beth! I appreciate your sharing my post! 🙂
Love all of the snowy activities in this post! Where we live it gets very cold in the winter but it is rare that we get any actual snow. Sharing this on Pinterest. Thank you for linking up this week to the Hearts for Home Blog Hop!
I just found this, Jill. It’s too bad that you have to get the cold without the snow (of course, not bad when it comes to shoveling and plowing snow). At least with all the ideas online now for creating fake snow, kids can still have lots of snow-related fun in the winter. Have a great week! 🙂
Such wonderful ideas!! Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
Thanks, Carrie! This was fun to put together. Now I’m ready for spring! 🙂
