toddler “busy bag” swap, take two!
If you’ve been following this blog for a little while now, you might remember the Toddler Busy Bag Swap that I hosted at my house last fall. A few weeks after I hosted my swap, my friend, Emily, hosted one as well and invited me to be a part of it! Below you will find pictures and links to (almost) all of the activities she included in her swap.
After participating in both swaps, we now have close to 40 different toddler activities (all of which are very simple for you to make and fun for your little ones to enjoy!). What I like to do in our home (if I am on top of things), is to set up a few activities on the little kids table in our kitchen and have them waiting for Sam to work on after his nap while I’m feeding Peter. This usually takes him around 15-30 minutes, depending on how much time he wants to spend on them.
I hope you find these as helpful and enjoyable as we have!
Flannel and Foam Board Game
Brown Bear Head and Tail Matching
Happy and Sad Face Magnet Pages
I recently took this same idea and bought some extra Easter eggs to make the same matching game and Sam loved it…
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can use these with my toddler while I’m working on homeschool lessons with the older ones!
I have recently started making a collection of our own busy bags for my 3yr old’s home-kindy. Loving your ideas, thankyou for sharing!!
Wow, I love this. Thanks for posting.

How do you play the Gone Game?
Hi, I’ve just found your blog and love the toddler bag ideas. Please could you post a picture of one of them in the actual bag so I know what you mean? I’ve never seen them before.
Fantastic suggestions! Will definitely be using some of these for my exchange. Thanks!
