These Christmas centers for the 5 senses are easy and fun! You set up each page at a center! Each center represents one of the five senses.

You can add to the experience by bringing in more sensory things. I made real gingerbread men this year and they sprayed their pages with cinnamon, then came and decorated real gingerbread men! Have fun with it!

READ THE DIRECTIONS AND SUPPLY PAGES BEFORE YOU PRINT.

Each page is part of the poem “Little Elf, Little Elf what do you see?”

There are 2 versions of direction pages to choose from for each center.

Some centers have multiple activities to choose from.

The supply list has prep directions also.

SIGHT:

•Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you see? Shimmering lights on the Christmas tree.

Kids will add glitter to the Christmas lights. I add real lights to the center for extra
sensory!

HEAR:

•Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you hear? Sleighbells ringing on Santa’s reindeer.

Kids add a bell to the reindeer or make a bell bracelet to jingle. Sing Jingle Bells
with their bracelet instruments!

FEEL:

•Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you feel? Santa’s soft beard. It feels so real.

•Kids add cotton balls to Santa’s beard. For an added challenge, put them in a
sensory bin with colored pom-poms and have them pick out the white ones!

SMELL:

•Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you smell? Gingerbread cooking and decorated well!

Kids can spray the gingerbread man with cinnamon spray, great small motor
practice. Or decorate a gingerbread cookie. Using small frosting tubes is great
for strengthening hand muscles, too!

TASTE:

•Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you eat? Candy canes so crunchy and sweet.

Kids can use a hole puncher and punch out the holes, some may need help.
They will lace the candy cane with a red ribbon or yarn. Once completed, I give
them a candy cane to have at the end of the party! The perfect end to our
Christmas party!
