Thank you for joining us for our virtual Christmas sensory play session, hosted by Ellie at Crafty Tales!
It’s time to watch the session and join Ellie with your little one for some of her favourite songs and activities and lots of sensory fun! All the activities can be adapted depending on your child’s level of vision and/or sensory needs. And because the session has been pre-recorded, you can pause when you need. Go at your own pace and enjoy the session your way!

Watch and join in the fun to receive a free My Little Morphée music device

The session with Ellie was very interactive. Henry enjoyed most parts. Thank you
Thanks to you and Henry for taking part! Emily 🙂
Problems accessing the video on this blog but managed to find it by searching for “ VICTA Christmas Sensory Play Session with Crafty Tales!” on YouTube. A wonderful sensory session, my little boy particularly loved BooBoo and we’ll be playing it again with his big brother and sister when they’re home over the weekend. I particularly liked the explanations as it helped me understand better how to adapt the sensory play to cater for my little one’s visual impairment (although occasionally the text disappeared under the background). Thank you VICTA!
Sorry for the problems joining to start with! We’ve updated the video now and there’s a new link to the new version so hopefully no more overlapping! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You can watch the newer version here: https://youtu.be/4ScYkh37DtE
Thanks!

Thank you

So glad you and Ibraheem enjoyed joining in! Emily
Really good ideas to use with the pack! Joseph really enjoyed using his space blanket and the wheels on the bus song with the Christmas twist it’s really allowed him to take part with Christmas stuff. It also didn’t take that long and we done it while waiting on lunch!
A lovely activity for lunchtime! The space blanket is so versatile! Glad you enjoyed it, Emily 🙂
G loved the songs and joined in singing all of them. Great session!
That’s lovely that she enjoyed singing along! Thanks for joining the session 🙂

Hi,
Thanks so much for posting this. My children found it really fun and engaging. It was great to have the alternative options so others could join in!
Great session, Elliot very much enjoyed the Christmas wheels on the bus. Thank you
That’s lovely thanks Louise, it’s a great twist on a firm favourite!
We really enjoyed the session and hope it will stay online for a wee while so we can repeat it. Thank you so much.
So much fun thank you Ellie
Lovely video, the snowman was very fun! Great ideas for using other items along with the video!
Lydia enjoyed the session. She particularly liked the wheels on the bus as it is a familiar song. She also enjoyed the puppet game. Thank you for running the session. Lydia loves the things in her sensory bag and we use it often.
