I went through a phase where I was obsessed with toddler and preschooler busy bags. I was part of a mom’s group and we did a giant swap of busy bag activities (so big I got five blog posts out of it, check them out if you’re in that age group) and I always loved having those handy activities for on the go or quiet time or when I just needed a minute to get something done.
At Arrows and Applesauce, she has busy binders instead of bags, with each activity in a pouch that kids can easily flip through and pull out what they want to use. (This would also work in a box, with each activity in its own bag.)
She has a post all about what’s in her busy binders. There are two of them, one relating to letters and colors, and one full of activities about numbers and shapes. There are lots of great ideas here even if you don’t want to make a big binder full of activities right now.
Do you have a favorite busy bag idea? I’d love to hear about it!
