So, right before Eli was born, I finally got serious about making Theodore some "busy bags". Through blogs and pinterest I found hundreds of idea, and narrowed it down to the easy, cheap ones I could make for Theo. This was one of the first I made, and a really simple one that many online moms have suggested. Even though he was two when I made it, it kept him interested for quite a while. I'm sure younger kids (once they stop putting everything in their mouths) would like this as well.
Materials: pompoms (I used a bag with all sorts of different sizes), container with lid
Assembly: simply poke a hole (or several different sized ones!) in the lid of the container.
Activity: toddlers can work to poke all the holes through the lid. When done, empty, and repeat!

| He loved pushing pompoms at 2.5 years old. |
He still asks to do his "pompoms" every now and then, but now he will use them for other purposes as well.

| Still a favorite "busy bag", at almost 3 years old the poms have been repurposed in bulldozer play. |

I love all these great ideas! Please keep them coming :)
I will! I've got a ton already made, and lots more in the planning. I have lots of extra materials, so if you want to request any when you think Annalyn would be ready for them, let me know!
That would be great!! I can't wait for that stage... every new one seems to be my favorite so far :)
