Recently a group of friends from my Catholic Motherhood group did a Busy Bag swap. It was very exciting! A busy bag is a ziploc bag containing an activity that would give your child something to keep them busy, either with you or without you. Counting, sorting, shapes, alphabet activities, etc. You can click HERE for more information on Busy Bags and to see a list of some links to various activities. Obviously you could make all these activities on your own; but if you do a swap, instead of having to make 15 (in our case) different things (and buy all the various supplies), you make 15 of one thing and come home with 15 different things!!
I made the Spooning Beads activity to share.
We haven't made it all the way through our busy box yet, but the activities Gemma has done she has really enjoyed. Here she is sorting some buttons.
And working with the felt number tiles and bug counting cards.
Kolbe likes playing with buttons as well!
