Studying the Arctic with your children this year? Building an Arctic small world sensory habitat is a fantastic way for children to assimilate the information they have been learning about the Arctic and to demonstrate their understanding.

I loved watching my children engage in pretend play with their Arctic small world habitat. It allowed me to see what they understood about the animals we had studied and the Arctic environment. It also gave me an opportunity to extend their learning by talking with them about the Arctic food web and melting polar ice.

In this post I have collected 10+ fabulous ideas to delight and inspire your child’s Arctic small world sensory play.

Note: For more Arctic activites, see my Polar Animals and Lands Unit Study page or grab my Arctic Unit Study.
