As I am preparing for our upcoming school year, one of the things on my to-do list is to put together some new busy bags to add to our collection for my 3-year-old twin boys and 20-month-old little guy.
With 7 kids in our family, it’s a necessity to have something to occupy the littlest people so that I can homeschool the bigger kids. So I did what most homeschool moms would do when they are looking for fun ideas; I got on Pinterest. My objective was to find busy bags/activities that focus on colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. And here are the best ones I found:
