My evening routine is pretty predictable-my hubby and I eat dinner, watch our favorite sci fi shows, and I craft while he writes/draws stories he's working on. Someday I'll have time to blog about all of my fun creations :) Here are some more busy bag activities I made.
Straws and Pipe Cleaners-Cut the straws into beads and they can thread them on. If they wanted, they could turn these into bracelets.
Pom Pom Stuffer-I cut a hole in the top of this container (it looks like a medicine bottle but isn't, the lid pops right off). I read on a few different blogs that these are a hit with kids.
Button Snake-Connect a button to a strip of ribbon and glue or sew a bit of felt on the other end as a stopper. Cut out pieces of felt and make slits in the middle for the button to pass through.
Cupcake Counting- I cut out 12 chocolate cupcakes and stitched numbers on them. Each has a white cupcake liner and frosting. Each frosting has anywhere from 1-12 beads/sequens stitched to them. They have to match up the number on the cupcake with the number of sprinkles on the icing. This one took quite a bit of time and to be honest, the fronts are cute but the backs are ugly from the stitching. I could have spent twice as much time prettying up the backs but chose not to.
I now have 2 milk jug boxes, each having 5 busy bag activities. I had fun with my niece and nephew over last weekend too and got to test out some of the items. The 3 year old enjoyed the busy bag stuff while the 5 year old was too preoccupied with the wii system. Both of them however enjoyed
the fishing game quite a bit :D They played it several times!
