When we lived in Germany, I used to make busy bags for Blue Rock. He was younger then but they were great on car rides and vacations. It's been a while since I've made one. A few weeks ago, one of our homeschool co-ops had a busy bag exchange for different age groups. I decided to participate. Sadly, we missed the play-date since it was on the day of my grandmother's funeral. However, we were still able to share our bags and exchanged them with others. I made 6 bags and got 6 bags. Here are the bags we got! I let Blue Rock do some of the activities but am saving others for a rainy day. I hope to do another busy bag exchange sometime. I'm feeling inspired to make more busy bags!
Pom Poms Number Matching Game - Use tongs to put the correct number of pom poms on each number card.
Counting Bugs in Jars - place the number of bugs to the matching number in the jar. This was one of his favorites. Probably because it involved bugs!
Clothes Pin Number Matching Game - place the number on the clothes pin to the right number of dots
Colored Popsicle Shape Game - create the shape with the popsicle sticks. He loved this one!
Math Addition Busy Bag - add the beads to learn addition. This was the one I made. Clink the title to see how.
Link and Pattern Game - make a pattern with the links that matches the patterns on the cards.
All my busy bags in their bags! Busy bags are fun and inexpensive and make a great learning tool!
