BABIES from Braintree got to dress up as Christmas characters as part of a baby sensory day.

Helen Whiting holds sensory classes for Braintree and Halstead parents.

To get the babies into the festive spirit she put on their first Christmas party.

Activities she set up included Jingle Bells instruments, a Santa Stuck up the Chimney puppet show, peek-a-boo snowmen and a Rock Around the Christmas Tree.

She said the parents really enjoyed bringing their babies along, and they even dressed up themselves.
