Using Christmas Decorations to Create a Sensory Environment
Creating a sensory environment either at home, work or a learning establishment doesn’t have to cost a fortune and it is possible to create an educationally stimulating area on a budget. During the Christmas season our homes turn into brightly coloured paradises, providing a variety of lit decorations and exciting moving animations everywhere. It is the perfect excuse to go wild with our imaginations and bring out our inner child. However, when the Christmas period is done and dusted many of us just pack our lights away until the following year. However we have some fantastic ideas of how to create a sensory area using items which you already have.
Whether the sensory area is at home, work or learning establishment, it needs to be accessible by everyone and it is essential to focus on the key five sensors including sight, sound, taste, touch and smell.
