Last week’s Discover & Explore linkup was full of an amazing selection of holiday play activities, snacks, songs, you name it! After agonizing over a theme to post on this week, I decided to simply pick ten Christmas-themed activities that I know my kiddos (almost three) would love. So, with much fanfare and gallantry, here are our top ten Christmas activities for toddlers from the Discover & Explore linky!

Healthier Gingerbread Houses from Nothing if Not Intentional (We actually tried this a few days ago and it was a hit!)
Twinkly Light Caves from Homegrown Friends
Sweet Smelling Candy Cane Sensory Play from Fun-a-Day
White Christmas Wooden Train Layout from Play Trains (We’re getting a train table for Chrismas- wouldn’t this be a cool way to set it up for them to find Christmas morning?)

Such a nice collection for the kiddos! Thanks for including our candy cane bin and our funky fine motor trees. Both activities are still going strong with my preschoolers!
It never ceases to amaze me how creative mommy bloggers can get! The egg carton Christmas tree is my personal favorite!
