They are quite popular in the area we live in, so some of you may be familiar with them. But I have found there are some who are not familiar with them so I thought I would share them with you! My kids love these. I have placed all of ours in a 3 ring binder with the pieces that are removable into their own plastic zip bags. All you need to do is color the page and cut out the pieces. We take them to church, or to restaurants and even to the dentist/doctor office to make waiting a little more mom friendly, if you know what I mean. **I started another photography class two weeks ago and I am really busy trying to fulfill my photography homework assignments.

Brown_Bear_edited_2011. Toddler and Preschooler Activity Bag Fun! Oh, activity bags, how I love thee, let me count the ways . . . I first discovered the concept of activity bags around the time my twins were born. We had just moved, I was hugely pregnant, on bed-rest for awhile and then tending to newborn twins who were nursing around the clock and mostly only sleeping in arms.
I also was trying not to rock my two-year-old’s world any more than possible (fat chance!). The main idea is that you assemble or make a self-contained activity that fits into a small bag. When you need a quick (or long) activity to occupy your bored or busy kid, you bust it out! Some are great for on-the-go, airplane or car rides, at the doctor’s office, etc, while others are a bit more messy and best for home. These can also work great for homeschoolers — and you can obviously cater the contents to any age, topic and ability level. I kept them in a tub by my chair in the living room and would pull one out whenever Emma needed a new activity. Here are the details for each bag: Love My Life x4....: Color Beginnings: Printables. Early Learning Activities For Pre-K and Kindergarten. Magnetic Pick-Up Game This game is a lot of fun for the children to play. You can use it to teach/reinforce many skill concepts such as letters ... numbers ... shape ... colors ... and sight words.
You will need: Metal washers about the size of a fifty cent piece (you can find these at Menards or any hardware store). Small magnets (I got a pack of fifty at Michael's Craft Store for under six dollars). Stretchy bead thread (found in the bead isle of the craft store). Wood dowels cut into 16 inch lengths with a hole drilled into one end. A dishpan (I got mine from Wal-Mart for under two dollars) or small bucket. Paint the wood dowels and let dry. You can make your own skill cards using index cards and a marker or choose some of the many free printables found at childcareland.com/free.html ... laminate for durability and glue a small magnet on the back of each skill card. Lay skill cards on the floor face (magnet side up). Clothesline Sequencing and Matching Alphabet Folders Classroom/Group Books. Busy Bag Exchange & Ideas | Babblin Brooke. I keep seeing ideas for Busy Bags all over on Pinterest and other blogs that I come across. My cute friend Kristin set up a Busy Bag Exchange, you probably remember me mentioning it before, and had QUITE the turn out.
Anyone that signed up had to do so by a certain date and sign up for a specific activity so everyone would know how many bags to make of their activity. She had 27 people sign up for the Toddler age group and 20 people signed up for the Preschool age group. Me? I signed up for both. That means that I came home with a whopping 47 activities! I may have gone slightly insane in the process of making 47 busy bags for the exchange but I am telling you, it was SO worth it! My kids (including the older ones… though K and A may not want to admit it ) have been having so much fun with them. For those that may not know what a Busy Bag is, it’s basically homemade activity, usually for little ones, that fits into a gallon size zip top bag. THANK YOU to the Busy Bag Goddesses! Gel Writer.

By Melanie Haiken Nothing derails a family road trip faster than bored backseat passengers. A well-stocked activity bag can mute the "Are we there yet? " melody from the rear and help you log some serious miles in peace. How elaborate your activity bag should be depends on the length of your trip, how many children you'll need to entertain, and their ages and attention spans. These parent- and kid-tested supplies will help you motor without meltdowns. For more great car trip advice, check out our Road Trip Survival Guide. Books on tape or CD: Nothing makes the miles fly by faster. Portable CD or tape player(s): Remember headphones and plenty of AA batteries. A cheap 9" x 12" baking sheet: Use as a playing surface so crayons, Matchbox cars, Legos, and other small items don't roll away.
Magnetized letters, numbers, and shapes: Use these with the baking sheet to make words, spell names, or create pictures. Crayons or markers: Markers are best for kids 3 and up, crayons for kids under 3. Planet of the Apels: Busy Bag Swap: Day 5 (Playdough Mats) There are so many! I love the book, Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noel Piper. It has really inspired me to be intentional with our special holiday traditions and more commonplace traditions. I hope to pass on traditions that clearly communicate God's love to my children and how much we love them. {*style:<i> </i>*} Each bag contains a booklet of 20 different laminated playdough mats, playdough, and instructions.
The most basic way your child can play with the mats, is to give them the mats and playdough and read them the instructions on the top of the page and let them get busy. You can also give your child additional instructions by telling them the number of objects to put on the page. For children who can recognize numbers, you can use a dry-erase marker to write a number on the top of the image pages and encourage them to create that number of objects on the mat. For 26 playdough mat bags, I used: 26 little containers (I found these 4/$1 at HEB) 13 pages of printed instructions. Preschool Bible Lapbooks. Preschool Bible Lapbooks Lapbooks are fun to make and go great with Sunday school lessons.
Here are few that PSS Central has to offer. Just follow the instructions included with each lapbook. Adam & Eve Armor of God Creation Daniel in the Lion's Den David & Goliath Jesus Feeds the Multitudes Jesus is Born Jonah & the Whale Joseph's Coat of Many Colors Noah's Ark The Ten Commandments Sample Lapbooks. Easter Lapbook, Resurrection Lapbook. Making Learning Fun. Lapbooking with Preschoolers | A Journey Through Learning Lapbooks Blog. Though our products are meant to be cut and pasted by the preschool crowd…This mama-Betty-doesn’t let her preschoolers near scissors or glue. I have too many littles and when I have tried this, well, it was not good. I am here to say, that you can STILL lapbook with your young crowd without them using the glue and scissors.
In fact as I printed off our Preschool book a month ago, I decided to make it reusable. First we (my 9 year old daughter Lora is my homeschool teacher’s aid) cut out all parts of the lapbook. Then we laminated them. I also laminated cardstock to stick each booklet to. To stick the booklets to the laminated cardstock pages, I used the sticky glue spots found in the scrapbooking section of most stores. I then used my comb binder to bind the book together. Under the letter flaps, I had Lora, cut pictures out from magazines and we used Velcro to attach them. Using Velcro allows us to use this book over and over again. Printable Packs.
