For the base, we used a mix of rice (white and colored), shredded tinsel, confetti, jingle bells.

Rainbow confetti:
It was fun to play! Kids love filling bottles and cups with the amazing colors. They made "relaxation bottles" without knowing any fancy terms for this. I can't find the exact match for the confetti we used, but here are a couple of options. Amazon affiliate links:

Different ways to build a tree:
  • Stacking cups, blocks, or just the plastic cups from the kitchen.
  • Pegs with the peg boards with shatterproof mini Christmas ball ornaments.
  • The spoon stuck in rice and decorated with stickers.
  • A "sensory bottle" filled with confetti and tinsel.
  • Stacking leads from jars and tubes.
  • Stacking up baby food cups filled with brightly colored supplies. Smash down your tree to hear the fun sounds!
