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 …

I’m putting together two busy bags that are very similar here. This is a review for felt “cooking” – assembling felt pieces into a sandwich (Hungry? DS2 wants to offer you a sandwich!) and pieces for a pizza The sandwich had bread, lettuce, a piece of cheese, and what my kids decided was two types …

This is a pretty simple busy bag. It is made of felt envelopes sewn at the sides, felt stamps, and laminated paper “letters.” It’s meant to stuff and stamp the envelopes and get them ready to mail. We have tried this several times, and each time, it holds the attention of my 2.5, 5, and …

This isn’t one of the busy bags I bought, but this is something I use for ds5. It’s good practice for forming letters, and he has enjoyed doing it multiple times (though not every day, or even every week) over the last year. The set is something I purchased: a book and 11 foam blocks, …

Here is a ready made “busy bag” that my kids adore. It is just shape and pattern copying, but it it has bright colors and the possibility to do your own work, which my kids enjoyed. They loved this set, and say they would recommend it! 😉 For a younger crowd, here is the beginner …

This busy bag is a handful of different colored and different shaped buttons. There were a total of 6 colors and shapes and two plates with three sections each, so it’s good for sorting colors and shapes. Well, maybe not so much sorting if you’re 2. But ds5 sorted a few times before he was …

Yay for keeping kids entertained – and learning! (Check out other busy bag ideas here.) This busy bag is something that is really easy to make–you simply need two colors of permanent markers and 2 sets of 26 different colored plastic spoons. One set of spoons should have the uppercase letters from A-Z written near …

This bag has an assortment of different colored pipe cleaners and a handful of felt buttons (shapes with holes in the center). This can be strung together by color, by shape, or by patterns of colors and/or shapes. OK. We’ve tried this one twice, and it has basically fallen flat for each child each time. …

This busy bag consists of a bunch of pompoms, a set of plastic tongs, and an ice cube tray. Sounds kind of weird, right? Except ds 2 loved it. When his big brothers tried to help him with some, he exclaimed, “No, dis MY WORK!” And he has played with it several times since. And …

Remember the post I did on keeping younger kids busy a few weeks ago? One of the options was busy bags. A busy bag is a task for younger kids, all grouped together and ready to be brought out to entertain as needed. I bought a bag of 30 of these here (they currently aren’t …
