Nativity Sensory Train Table

So, I've finally ventured into "sensory" stuff and I think I outdid myself this time, LOL.  My son was so ecstatic over this, it's been non-stop play AND he had to show his grandma and grandpa (since they watch him while I work in the mornings).

I used my son's train table with the tracks and all to set up a Nativity scene with SNOW! Yes, snow.  The Bible says Mary wrapped Jesus in swaddling cloths because it was cold - to sink in the concept of "cold", I put snow on the table.

Here is our Nativity Sensory Train Table:

Here is the Nativity Set with all the SNOW!!!

We did role playing.  Jordan carried the 3 presents

and we pretended to be the wisemen on a long journey

to Jerusalem to bring gifts to the king.  When we found

the newborn king, Jordan gave him the gifts.

Playing with the donkey that Joseph and Mary

used on their long journey.

Woah, he moves fast!!!

The 3 Wise Men standing before Christ, the King! 

Look mama a donkey!!!

Woah, the snow balls fit in my train tracks!!!

 Why, won't they stay???

Great fine motor activity without any thought to it, lol

Picking up the snow flakes, he thought they tickled!!

Stacking more snow balls.

I can blow on them to make them move!!!

Put snow in the donkey's cart and poured it out.

Another view of our sensory train Nativity table.

And I knew it, the train was going to come out sooner or later, lol.

It's the star to follow to baby Jesus.
