Build a Rainbow Busy Bag
We’ve used several other free form felt building activities with our kids. Would you like to see them?
I went to Hobby Lobby this morning to buy felt for this rainbow busy bag. Busy bags are new to me, and so is using felt. I had fun tonight making 11 busy bags, including two of your other ideas…bean sorting and “junk” matching. I can’t wait to let the kids play with them tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Our kids still love their busy bags. In fact I have a few still packed away that I need to pull out.
This would be great for my three year old grandson.
