Busy bag: Baby version – paper recycling

Another busy bag idea (see the more serious busy bag ideas here.) This one is a little tongue-in-cheek, but my 10 month old baby had a blast with our bag of paper recycling. She shredded and ripped and laughed her way through a pretty good amount of our newspaper from the day before, and the …
