Toddler/Preschool Busy Bag

Many of us have those. The tag-alongs. The students on audit. The needing-attention-while-you-school. So I prepared some busy bags in the beginning of the school year, to occupy the preschooler and the toddler. Now, the preschooler has school work, so it's the toddler mostly. We found that the busy bags work very well when we go to church and the toddler sits in the service with us. Before I put everything in a box. I think that's too much and they get bored easier. I'm planning on putting 4 to 5 activities in the box for a couple days and then switch to others. Here are some we have at the moment and some we'll do. Wipe clean books. She's ready for them now and not use the marker everywhere else. The cute church toy Paper, scissors, paper cutters Dot magnets and dot a dot alphabet Clothes pin number match Mini Connect-Four. No, they cannot play, but they like to put them in. Dress up dolls. I made the clothes myself. The girls weren't THAT

Bible Note book The littlest ruined our 100 chart and Ian redid it. Such amazing penmanship, don't you think? We found this app we LOVE!!! (that we got for free) Math Express Really cute that you get to take a pic of the child in the train! We learnt about fractions. I LOVE how Complete Book of Math teaches it, but Ian is having a hard time digesting. Takes him a while. Our littlest is quite occupied for school. =) See? She is beginning to like the folder games I made for Colleen the year before!
